Need help with an ID on this helmet

[davekj]

A friend of mine picked up this helmet the other day for me ( he knows nothing about military helmets ) . I believe it to be French but not sure . It is made of a hard fiber material and is well made . Any help would be great !!
Thank You for your help !!

these can also be used as helmet liners with the French M51 steel helmet as used by motorzed troops and tankers when they needed a combat helmet when they had to exit the tank, they could simply put a steel helmet over the tanker helmet for better protection.
