    I think the use of these covers only came in with the PASGT helmet, and from the pictures it's not always obvious whether it is an M76/201 or a PASGT being worn as the chin strap arrangement is very similar. With the IDF you also need to consider that the regular soldiers have the most current issue equipment and more uniformity, and the reserve soldiers who depending on their role get progressively older kit.
    As with the last photo MD posted the Mitznefet is the most common used on active operations because it breaks up the outline of the helmet, interestingly the pictures show that most of the helmets have covers under the Mitznefet.
