How can I recognize a Korean war M1 helmet?

The safest way to tell is a repainted WWII helmet is usually KW (unless it is apple green then it is VN).
I believe that most KW used helmets were WWII surplus.
Also some will have the repainted green WWII liner (it is a darker green) or a 50s liner which is almost the same as a WWII liner but has dark green instead of khaki webbing.
I know they did produce more helmets in the 50s which had the green metal on the chinstraps which were NOT sewn on.
BUT, you will also see those helmets used in Vietnam.

the shell is ww2 1944 but repainted and reused. the chinstraps are sewn on which i believe was earlier so i thought korean. the liner is micarta 1952. when i picked the pot up it had a vietnam liner in it so i put this in
