Maybe batch is 3040? if 3660 would be a problem due to the decal drop which occurred around 3200.
i can't see a problem (nice decal and pigskin liner) aside for the earlier strap (original but replaced most likely)

Early straps on late war helmets are by no means uncommon. My own late war ND M42 has an early, maker-marked chinstrap on it. Unfortunately, there's no way to tell apart a wartime replacement from a postwar one, but as long as the strap itself is authentic it shouldn't concern anyone other than an absolute purist.
Regards, B.B.

not uncommon but that's what i meant; you can't say when it was replaced.

Nice one! Congrats on taking delivery.
Strap was probably mated with the helmet post-war but no big deal. Helmets were issued with two straps because they were a wear item.
