To those that are familiar with these post war lids I would have to ask, are these collectible? I would imagine so.
In that case, should Tommywal be advised against drilling holes in this shell?

In There own way they might be the inside paint looks original so I would advise strip down the fake repaint but don't drill holes in.

Point taken. The thought did cross my mind that if I wanted to mess around making a replica then there would be easier and cheaper ways to do that trash a perfectly good helmet. Is it possible to remove just the layer of beige paint? I'm thinking a thin application of paint stripper?
