Maybe the 'Bulgarian contract' fell through?
Or they made too many liners?

Great posts and links guys.
Got out my other two helmets to check the stamps:
R over FB
R over GB
and R over LJ
The 'LJ' is a much lighter shade of green although all three helmets seem to have the original paint.
Could the letters be a date code?
Oz.
I have some images of two more Australian helmets both have the arrow stamp in the sweat band.. there numbers both CAT NO with a 50. the other liner has no,, cat no, stamp but the same numbers.
the first helmet I showed on this this thread just letting you guys no the liner in that will not budge its been tougher for a while.
We will get to the bottom of this eventually - with some more digging.

yes would be good not much info about the Australian m1 and liners. but there must be some information out there.
Can you read the heat stamps in the last two helmets Geelong?
Oz.

Great thread ,
I recently picked up one marked R over CE , just to add to the list .
An easy way to pick a Aussie built Nam era M-1 is that they always have Red primer underneath
I bought this helmet only really for the liner ,
Had a near minty used US P64 , DSA dated 64 headband in it.
The chap I got it off had it as is for over 40 years.
