    I think it might be an anti rust coating or just a coat of primer added post war.
    Since when they first left the factories, these helmets never got any primer coatings.
    In the picture with the lot number you can also see that the paint is in the rust pits, so definitely post war applied.
    And it could have also been a two component paint (2K Lack) which would be why your paint stripper wouldn't attack it.
    Those are just my thoughts.
