That's another very nice SA camo ! Clearly seen combat use. I think you will find that the chinstrap is quite rare !

I think you have a completely original army MKII there. The outer paint is an army non-reflective coating. The "C" mark is a British control mark, not a Canadian mark. Most (all ?) early British made liners have them.

Great information, thanks! Would you happen to have any idea who could have made the shell?

Impossible to say from the photos provided. There will be some markings on the shell even if they are very faint. Have close look in good light.
