Agreed....'spent ages trying to identify differences in the helmets .....but never really looked at the nets!

Thank you.

Hi James, Compo!!
thanks for your interest..
No James..I just missed the last complete M80/03 set..it was just this standard M80/03 cover left..so I picked that up as consolation!! Glad I did now!!! as I otherwise probably wouldn't have realised my new example was quite so different!!!

I had another really close look at the two covers.. hoping for a missed stamp or label....sadly nothing!!
and thought I would add some comparison photos of the two inside... and out...

While I had the covers off the helmets... just out of curiosity I tried the odd oversized one on my US PASGT ..."like you do"!!! Now is it just me that thinks it fits the PASGT shape better than the M80 or M90 Iraqi helmets!!!!!!(see comparison of M8/03 being "swamped" by the cover.. and PASGT type with better fitment!!)
after the Gulf Wars end...did not the Iraqi forces use PASGT helmets donated by the Americans?? or even make a copy of their own!!?? could this strange cover be for fitment to this type!!?????
