Thanks, Nick! Yep, that would be the one. I figured it was a Blue Anchor, which as I understand, are not being reproduced.
That aside, I could see the chain stitching on the beach side seam and the HBT weave was correct, so I knew it was good.
The seller listed it as WW II helmet with camoflouge and liner, so it didn't draw a lot of attention allowing me to get it at a good price.
The fact it may have been a Navy lid at one point is an added bonus.
And yes, Elmo sure did photo bomb the hell out of the photo!

Thanks, Geelong! Yeah, I've been studying them for a while and only recently became confident enough to pull the trigger. Now to save up for some WWII manufactured versions....
The three covers to the right of the USMC I showed in my other thread. The 4th to the right I acquired directly from a retired Brigadier General. Cover is dated 1974. Below, if interested, is a link with additional photos of the helmet as well as the rest of the grouping:

Here are additional photos of the WWII setup. The net was added after I posted the helmet on the forum:
