Well, if its not a sticky on Commonwealth Steel helmets, then delete it. As any technical stuff should be elsewhere.

My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

Not sure why this thread is a sticky, BUT Aaron, the owner of your helmet actually lived about 15 minutes drive from me, so im going to see if i can hunt out some more info for you..Commonwealth steel (Comsteel as its now known in Australia) are based in Newcastle, my father worked there for years. Im going in there soon to try and hunt out all the Helmet records i believe they may still have. Newcastle was a steel city, It had BHP, commonwealth steel, Tubemakers to name a few. Newcastle was shelled in WW2 by a Japanese submarine I-21 in the early hours of 8 June 1942. The bombardment followed the Attack on Sydney Harbour on 31 May, and was conducted shortly after I-24 shelled the eastern suburbs of Sydney, but the sub did not enter the harbour, had it done so it would of been right next to these giant wartime metal producers.
