This helmet is a later production than the McCord helmet; the rim is made from manganese steel rather than the earlier shiny stainless steel. The patch of bright green paint is curious- it looks to be the same age as the olive drab paint, it's just a shapeless patch so maybe it was slopped on to cover up some damage to the OD.
