This is something a little unusual for sale on eBay US. It's not something I've seen before.

Looks to me like they took a us shell and put a british liner in it probably a movie prop
Dont quote me on this Andy but I believe these were surplus shells sold off to Holland postwar and before they produced there own mk2 and liner so they used war time British issued mk2 liners as a substitute.I.M.H.O.....cheers Jake.Update last year an ebay seller had 6 or so of these so maybe genuine field issued as i've already stated,also they all had that brownie postwar dutch paint which is seen in many 50's dutch mk2's.
Interesting I had no clue
Just seen this listed as an "ISRAEL"issued lidnot sure whats the connection as they produced there own m1 version with 3 swivel bales for a para type chinstrap....a ww2 McCord rear seam with i stand corrected mk1 vero type liner,still going with the "dutch"theory....Jake.
Looks like a South African "Jaeger Rand" liner to me.
Cheers, Mads
I see your point, it's a strange pad, but the SA liner has four brass rivets and a large brass retaining screw.

Looks like a liner from a U.S. WWI Brodie attached to a WWII M1.........! ?

It looks like a British or Dutch oilskin, the crown pad and it's bolt/rivet/whatever look home made?
