Looks good from the photos, I see no red flags, a picture of the beach side seam stitching would help.

I forgot that picture, here you go
looks like a good 2nd pattern cover to me
Ahh Okay, that picture I can't provide. I don't have the helmet in hand yet. I thought it was enough to look at the stitching along the edge to conclude whether the cover is ww2 period or Korea
To the best of my knowledge, 2nd pattern covers (with the slits cut into them for camo) were first used in 1945... Iwo Jima and Okinawa campaign to be specific.
IF your cover is authentic (which it looks like it is...), the lack of a Eagle, Globe and Anchor ink stamp is a good sign that it was ONLY used in WWII and not reissued for Korea or later (ink stamps were added post WWII)
Here is my USMC lid:
