I just found out the first helmet is not Indian, it's actually an INDONESIAN M1 clone
"Developed in 1998 reportedly for East Timor insurgency. The nylon or whatever is about 8mm thick."

First of all, i'm sorry for resurrecting an old thread. But i find an interesting link about this helmet,
it's a link from India Defence Research & Development Organisation. The link is about a bulletin way back in August 1999.
From the bulletin it's indeed the helmet was named "Helmet Combat Fibre Glass".
The material is "Glass of reinforced plastic using 'E' glass woven roving fabrics and unsaturated polyester resin and shaped by matched metal die moulding process".
The helmet was developed in 2 shades, olive green and sand color.
At the time of the article publication, the helmet was equipped for the armed forces, paramilitary, and police.
I hope this can help.
