Wait, the profession (here “tour operator”) is part of the person’s identity? Also, “England”? Are you sure this is a passport?

Yes you can see stamp on photo and that's my hand holding the passport.
The word cut from the photo is "Residence" so I suppose England was acceptable for that.
Profession was listed on UK passports for a long time but sorry I can't give a date for when it was dropped.

I don’t know why you’re being downvoted. That is exactly what they are. Glasses in the 70’s and 80’s could auto-darken in the presence of bright light. It caused issues with flash photography, though.
Most of my family wore them (parents and uncles) and all of their photos are like this.

People in the 70s wore tinted prescription glasses a lot
