M1 with first pattern MSA liner WW2

[Redstalker]

Been a while since I have been on here and I apologise for my absence.
Here I have an early WW2 M1. The helmet is a McCord front seam fixed bale with a heat stamp of 291C putting this one around September/October 1942. The helmet looks to have remnants of a white wash (snow camo) but can’t be sure if this is what it is.
The liner is an MSA (Mine Safety Appliances) with white rayon suspension with uncoated steel triangular washers. The liner has the name Carrington in pencil on the front and a red stamp of 47 inside.
This liner is either from the first contract issued for 12,000 units on 4 February 1942 or the 372,000 contracted for on 14 February 1942. There were 3 companies issued contracts for the new high pressure liners in early 1942, MSA (384,000) Inland (1,000,000) and Westinghouse (1,000,000). This makes the early MSA high pressure liners much harder to come by.
Thanks for looking guys
