I think and not for sure but I believe the markings are tactical markings for training propose but I am not sure if the meaning. I would like to see the markings on the flap of the cover and the inside of the liner.

If that number is a 76 it is a post Vietnam war cover. The helmet,liner and cover will make a good example for a US m1 Vietnam era collection. You will never know how long these pieces have been together and if they are even original to one another.

Pretty sure Woodland pattern didn't come onto the scene until the 1980's way post Vietnam.
The liner is made by a company called Marmac Industries Inc and is Vietnam era 1966. The cover is post war and looks like a late 70s contract. The steel helmet is not a US helmet as they did not stamp serial numbers on the rim. It’s a Euro Clone M1 and probably either Dutch, Belgium or one of the Scandinavian countries.
Thanks everybody for the help!
The stamping on the rim already came to me as "suspicious". Thanks for the clarification!
I don't understand why people try to sell stuff without first informing themselves about the originality of it (deliberately or not)...too bad.
