Well, why not just collect the covers then? No, seriously, I know people who do, with much more enthusiasm than they collect helmets, which as far as they are concerned are just there to put the covers on. For me, as indicated above, covers are a damned nuisance which make proper identification unnecessarily difficult, especially on Ebay and the like when people don't seem to realise what a potential cutomer needs to know.
The orange helmet is a Canadian CG634, in the terracotta colours of the Multinational Force and Observers which operates in the Sinai, on monitoring duties. It is not a UN unit, therefore has its own livery, so to speak. Its not clear as to whether the 634 was an 'issue' helmet, or is used only by the Canadian contingent. Anyone know? (I got mine from a man in Austria, which may mean something or nothing!)
The camo-painted helmet is indeed a Singaporean C1, an early 1990s model. A number of early painted PASGT models can be seen here -
