The first and third look like painted over relics, the 2nd is manmade wear patterns.

See Doug, told you I dont know shit about helmets lol

Glad to be of service Ben!

Note on the first two paint inside the pitted areas of the helmet, lack of natural wear.
The second look at the wear patterns, and you soon see patterned wear, ie manmade damage to the paint, and an amateurish effort at that!

With camos don't look at the paint, look at the wear. Especially to the vents, pins, around the pins, leading edges, the top of the dome, and where the curve of the skirt meets the dome. Look for wear patterns, matching damage in length and width, repetitive wear. These are all signs to train the eye in what to look for.

I will go and look at a few Doug see if I can apply what you have given
