Brodie MK2 helmet with unknown insigna

[Bavarian]

Hello friends of militaria,
I found this brodie MK2 example on ebay kleinanzeigen last week for little money and I am not shure about that
The heat stamp was overpainted and I dont want remove them ,because it was damaged enough
The liner is Made by CCL but the date is not visible anymore(19??)
The sign on the helmet is yellow with a red spear on it
The strap is made from canvas and is not stamped and the top rivet was replaced
It not seem to be self made because the colour of the decal and blue overpaint were very old
I am need your expertsknowledge to identify it
Im thankful for all information about it
Best regards
Bavarian

Hello
Thanks for the comment
The only I dont understand is that the
Liner is Marked CCL and in a thread I saw that it was only made from 1939-45 and the second is that I found it in germany
Nothing come here without a story
The seller said he has found it in the cellar and it comes from Mainz in Rheinland-Pfalz were the british were stationed
I think this make sense
The chinstrap was added by him to the helmet

Helmet liner’s are often marked like your to hide the actual date...usually when a dealer is selling a non-war time liner as war time. The presence of one country’s helmet in another country shouldn’t be a surprise nowadays

Hello
You are right
I bought it from a private person like 99% of my Helmets, not from a dealer
The helmet was complete dirty as it was delivered today and it was untouched
I think I can read on this field were the stamp is CCL TTC 1941
On the picture it is not so good visible and very hard to take a picture from this

News To the Helmet!!!
I found the Heatstamp but it is unreadable
I found too rests of an Southfront/Africa camoflage on it
All that for 35€ include shipping (I am Happy)
See to the pictures
Enjoy it

Best regards

none of the above stops it being a wartime British helmet reused post war by the Irish army, anything else is just a story

Hello
I found the proof here
When I wet the helmet, the south front color is even better to see
and on the left side are still some flashes rests
To check the sand color, I have my 1942 made UDF helmet added that was painted with this color and what surprise it was the same colour the punching is unfortunately only the 1940 to read
I think this was evidience enough for that this helmet was used before in WW2
The chinstrap I added and the MK4 strap is on my MK4
Best Regards

Hello
Have someone the same opinion to this?
Make this sence that it was used in WW2 and after that it was sent to Ireland?
