Helmet I.D

[shaddam]

so this has been in my uncles loft for as long as i can remember, never had an idea what area of ww2 this comes from, ive done some research and its similar to police, fire service or publc welfare helmet from ww2 but none of the colours match up,
heres some images, i cant see any decals on it or serial numbers of any sort
