No idea on who M&C were, but the few I've seen have been 1939 dated.
Very unusual to find an unknown maker of the Mk2 liner in that year, as most unknown makers seem to be in 1940, & more so in 1941. That's when production of the Mk2 helmet really took off & they needed extra manufactures to cope with demand.

Here's unit marked helmet, a Mk2 No.2C of the Queen Victoria, Kings Royal Rifle Corps of the home guard.
It has an woven net of the variety not often seen, the shell is painted khaki green textured paint on the outside with a drawn badge on the side KRRC.
The helmet & liner were both made by BMB,shell dated 41, liner 1940, the net has left an imprint on the paint where it has been on for so long.
Another beauty from you Aaron.
Regards,
Jerry
