Would it respond to some cutting compound? Or is the UV damage deeper?

Would the plastic not be quite brittle if it's that badly UV damaged?

They were pretty brittle when new but yes, getting it from germany here in one piece would be a task, you could then get some "lens tint paint" and tidy it up.
