If you look closely you can see the masks had two straps one which went over and one which went under. Dr Boyce’s upper strap looks to be missing. You can see the indent on his hair where it used to be. I’m assuming the strap broke and they couldn’t source a new set of goggles so they just pulled off the bad strap and left the bottom one so it would at least stay on his face.
This is almost certainly it, but my first thought was that it was just one of those weird alterations that scifi shows/movies do to everday objects to make them look different and futuristic.

You can see the little nubbin of the upper strap on Dr. Boyce’s goggles.
