Gittes concludes that they're Noah Cross's. From the script:

GITTES: An obituary column... can you read in this light?

 

CROSS: Yes... I think I can manage...

 

Cross dips into his coat pocket and pulls out a pair of rimless glasses.. He puts them on, reads. Gittes stares at the bifocal lenses as Cross continues to look through the obituary column. He looks up.

 

CROSS: What does this mean?

 

GITTES: -- that you killed Hollis Mulwray --

 

Gittes is holding the bifocals with the broken lens now.

 

GITTES: (continuing) -- right here, in this pond. You drowned him... and you left these.

And since Noah takes them away from him as to not incriminate himself, Gittes is probably right.
