Narrative:
On cockpit preflight of smoke goggles, found black goggles instead of blue ones. Asked maintenance if the goggles were the correct ones and found they were A300/F100 goggles. These goggles fit the description in the operating manual. We need a better way to identify these goggles. The pictures in the operating manuals are poor and no part number is listed.
