Re: M40 LMZ Dated 1948!
Mark,
That pebbled pattern pad you call post war may not be. There are wartime pads in a similar material and Ssh-39 sweat bands as well. It is similar but not the same. I can't really explain, but cannot tell from your photos either.
As for the Zig-Zag patterned ones. We call them wartime because this material was certainly used widely for these pads as well as Ssh-39 sweat bands. However if we "take the blue pill" and see the world as it really is (film ref. The Matrix)... These pads could be postwar made as well, but there is absolutely no way to tell.
Can't tell = wartime... welcome to Soviet collecting

Re: M40 LMZ Dated 1948!
Green chinstraps are not uncommon on postwar helmets. There was a time when I was working with OstFront Militaria that I had about 100 postwar Ssh-40 in my garage. I bet 25% had these dark green chinstraps.
As for your third pattern pad, is it a pattern of small groups of hash marks with the groups facing in opposed directions? That is a wartime pattern as well.

Re: M40 LMZ Dated 1948!
My comment was irrespective of width. 15 or 20mm ? I think that might be a "vampire chase".
