Very nice, I'm loving the oil rain stains, I have a US 6 color desert PASGT helmet and Vest cover each with oil rain stains and a US LC-1 Suspenders with oil rain stains. I also missed out on 2 more PASGT helmet covers with stains for only about $30 I hadn't seen any Iraqi stuff with it yet, thanks for sharing.

The M80 helmet with the factory light tan paint and webbing looks like it might be a export model made for the SAUDI military
one of the uncommon M80 helmets also with the different color on the inside

Thanx Paul an interesting thread and some dam nice helms in this grouping..
I am really keen on the M-90 with the oil misting on the exterior of the helmet body speaks to genuine usage in the Sand Box...
Regards Mark

Thanks Mark
Yes my bring back M90 is definitely one of my favorite Iraqi lids!! Funny that the M90 examples exhibit the oil misting ....but I really haven't seen any M80's.showing similar misting.....perhaps it's because the M90 cream Coloured plastic holds the oil staining better than the Matt painted M80.....where any oil residue ....would be mostly absorbed!!??..

This is all very interesting Paul to see the differances between the netting types but firstly i never realised you have only recently added a M80/03 example as i could of sworn you had one in the collection unless the memory i had blurred over time of you picking up that Iraqi net at War and peace with a whole lid .
there is no doubting the differances between the two net /plastic scrim examples you show and something i am as keen as you are to get to the bottom of
I do know there is a Tan colour scrim version too but have never seen one on the surplus market as of yet
I will do my best to dig deeper
