It' hard to say for sure if the Polish troops are using the Wz 93 for Airborne use but if so then i can add my example to the thread and who could forget this chap

Oh Dear god I bet you have some funny stories to tell Chris.

Another one to add to the mix thought I would post up my Vietnam era US M-1 C Para the liner webbing is nicely dated to 1967 sadly the press the stud fastners on the chinstrap were cut off and had to be replaced on the M-1 but it does still display rather well.

1960 - Stage de saut mai 1960 de la 61 CT de bayonne - Ecole des troupes aéroportées [1960 - May 1960 Internship Jump 61 CT Bayonne - school]
these French paras appear to be wearing the M56 TAP
Some MI-c's as well as far as I can see.

Another fine airborne helmet Mark ,interesting to see my example's liner is only two months older than yours, my McCord shell is from the 1951 production run so a korean war period steel pot and has North & Judd Anchor chinstraps and combat liner was produced by Marmac industries,mine shows a thick texture less od green applied over the original sand or cork coating and also a frontal insignia flash remnant can be seen ,possibly what could be captain bars but its hard to say for sure cool militaria

Nice looking lid James and IMO you are correct it indeed looks to be a set of Captain bars on the front of the shell Here is my most recent Airborne helm another M-1 C but this particular one is a late WW II repaint with a Westy produced para liner the soldiers serial number written in the shell suggests it was as well used post war and this one as well has some form of insignia hidden under the repaint but on the side of the shell.
