Three examples is two more than many people might require (he says, having almost a dozen Belgian M71 para helmets in a pile beside him); so are there any real differences from one to the other (or the other other)?

So far as I am aware this helmet was introduced in the early 70s with the express intent to have a helmet which did *not* resemble the common Warsaw Pact M40-clone, and delibareatly harked back to the Dutch-type helmets used during WW2.

But may I ask how you came by them? I found it hard enough to get one - at any reasonable price - never mind three.
