He is from GHW2 not German helmets.com ;-)

Darryl Pajot actually posted this long before Nick did years ago on GHW.

The helmet is an M40 and Gunny nailed it, just an optical illusion.

My apologises to the author , I only had this "version" that has obviously been nicked then!! Leon.

Is it just me or is the split rivet/pin behind the vent and not in front?

The helmet looks more like the Hungarian version.

Oh the one on the left is just a M40

How accurate is this chart? If the maker's mark had corroded away, would I be able to tell by shape?

Well kind of yes. When you look at lots of helmets you dont need the chart, each maker has its own characteristic thing. This chart works only on M35/40.
