The left has the standard military upper silhouette. Could they be old .22 trainer targets?

Clark's right. Those are 50ft targets for marksmanship training with 22s. In the early '80s I was a young E-5 assigned to an Army ROTC instructor group. We had a 50ft indoor range and had a couple of boxes of these stacked in a corner. I expect ours were leftovers from the '50s - we didn't use them; we were using modern guns to train the cadets and used the reduced range qual targets.

Happy New Year, all!

Uhoh! I just realized I mentioned unmentionables. Moderators, If I need to do so let me know and I'll go in and edit the post.

Eric,
We can't learn by sweeping stuff under the carpet, so to my mind no sweat!

The left target looks like the one we fired at 25 meters with our M-14 in 1965 ...I haven't seen them since
