Aviphot is the trade name used by Agfa for Ariel photography products (Aviation Photography. Some are IR sensitive.
This size is/was made for a particular air force camera.
The dia could be read as a DIApositive film/plates for making slides.

These would be used to make positives by contact-printing aerial negatives. Glass is used instead of film for its dimensional stability and lack of distortion- very important when making maps.
