This appears to be from a Wartime Stahlhelm reissued postwar to the Norwegian Army - They dyed the leather and added brown chinstraps...

The stamping on the liner band indicates it was manufactured by Werner Zahn in Berlin-Charlottenburg.
I think Glenn's assessment is correct.

Ah yes! Thank you that would explain it

I would agree with Glenn and Todd
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

The Norwegians ( usually but not always ) used a brass domed head split pin to secure the leather to the band.
This is the case with this one as in photo #5 the domed style type can be seen, although the flat alloy German one can be found.
I guess there was some run-out period of the flat type before the "normal" brass ones kicked in.....

I don't know if it's only a longstanding rumour that Norway redyed these liners against headlice,but your third photo shows someone ripped out the Norwegian leather chin relief on the short strap
