The factory paint did wear off on some liners. This one was used in the PTO and a camo was applied during that time.

looks like this one was not worn with a shell?

It’s a married named lid and liner but you are correct, When you aren’t on the line you go around with just the liner. It’s lighter and cooler to wear than a steel pot.

Thanks for your refernces!

@paddy I have seen one whole unit in Berlin (early post War) all with unpainted liners, Hope I will find the picture.
