In all fairness, I believe the poster on USMF was saying that he did not like it as an ARVN helmet.
The consensus on USMF was NOT that the camo was faked.
They believed that it was an OPFOR training helmet.
OPFOR is opposing force training.
They were saying that it was painted for a military training exercise to be used by the opposing force.
Therefore it is not a camo helmet used during any war or in any forward area during war.
It is essentially a training helmet.
A few members believed that they had seen similar helmets.
One member stated:
There were multiple helmets for sale in a ARMY Navy store somewhere near the 15 freeway at least 10 years ago.
There was a bin of them I remember.
All were different but stored outside.
