Here is a photo of an m1 clone liner. It's missing the liner's chinstrap, these are either artificial leather or webbing ones. The three rivets at the back of the liner are for the piece also found in US m1s, but these tend to fall and get lost over time. I have been issued 4 or 5 m1s during my service and just one had retained this piece in place. The plastic liner's finish can be lighter or darker in colour, slightly textured matt or glossy smooth like this example.

These helmets are still used by the Cypriot army. Not much today, as the new US ones are now in use but when i was in the army from 1996-98 the one in the picture was the only one available.
Looking for the photo albums of Leutnant Emil Freitag, 3. / G.R. 377
