Looks to be US late 70's type. Technically its a Vietnam Era but post Vietnam War helmet liner. Most of the Vietnam Liners were a more brown color. You can also read the stamping on the inside and possibly get a date code within the long FSN number.

what if a helmet were to have tan and brown stripes with 'nam era rivets in the netting but seem to read a '78 date on the DLA number?
