    Default British mk2 home front helmet?

    Hi chaps, i just wondered if anybody could help ID this helmet please? I have searched the forum, and initially thought it could be private purchase, but the shape looks simliar to the standard mk2? Also, there is no hole for the liner, a rolled rim, and strange helmet strap lugs. I think the paint is grey, its in a bit of a state.. can anybody help?
    Thanks as always, shaun
