Hello,
Manufacturer of the shell should be Parish Division of the Dana Corporation between October 1968 and August 1969.
Batches of these helmets were made without heat stamping and only had a small ink stamp with a number. Since the helmet is painted over, you can no longer see it.
I'm assuming Australia based on this new color. US delivery for the Vietnam War.
Regards
Did Australia use domestic liners in these or US made liners?
I don't know 100%. Liners could also have been supplied with the shells. Would make sense since gie shells without liner would have been pointless.
However, M1 liners were also manufactured in Australia.
