British & Canadian nets & netted helmets

[Grimebox]

I do have a MK3 but it's packed away at the moment. I'll see if I can dig it out and check.

Here's one I just missed out on, a South African net, very popular with Polish & New Zealand collectors. I think because they were issued these nets, New Zealanders the Desert & Italy, Polish for Italy, if anyone has any info on that please share.

Very rare colour, is it a BMB made shell & are there any dates?

Should the two tone net be orientated a specific way on a helmet? For example, should the line where the two colors meet up split the eyes of the wearer or go from ear to ear?

Also... are shell dressings supposed to be stuffed under the net in a specific spot... or is it up to each individual soldier's preference?
