Late war version, the chin strap is original and wartime.

I had one just like it with an ersatz cloth liner coated with something to replicate leather, the OP's liner looks the same.

The white "ersatz" leather liner is often encountered in these. The celluloid strap not as often. I have seen a couple examples where the strap was "stapled" to the liner, not sure if that was a period design or post war repair. Out of desperation, they may have stapled them
