yes, it looks like it could be a transitional Polish model Wz75
notice this Polish helmet also has a rivet on top but the webbing / liner is different, more modern looking.

I read that they also supplied these to the North Vietnamese during the VN war
imported primarily from Poland, but also from Czechoslovakia, East Germany, and Russia, were used primarily by self defense forces, anti-aircraft and artillery crews and truck drivers.

Hello. Sorry for bad news but this one is NOT a Polish helmet. More East Germany. I will try to find more details.
