British Tanker/Paratroop/Motorcycle dispatch or....
I have and now seen this similar helmet.
Anyone know what it is exactly?
I don't believe it is a paratroop helmet, as they would not use only one strap. More or less goes for a Motorcycle dispatch, plus they normally have leather sides.
The last picture is of my own helmet.
...something missing from your request?
?

There is a strong possibility that this is a Danish re-work of a British Para helmet, done after the Second World War. A lot of surplus material was repurposed in this way. The strap is typical of this Danish re-work, but they also usually have the cross-shaped rubber srown-pad bolted into the crown of the helmet, which I can;t see here. But then these helmets were being put together from boxes of bits, so no certainty they are all identical. If this is what it is, it is something comparatively uncommon.
Greg, your right, cruciform pad is in the dome. So most likely a Danish refurb'.
Cool looking helmet..

I agree , probably Danish re-furb.
