Japanese Helmet markings
Article about: Hello everyone, Can anyone tell me what these painted and inked characters on this Army helmet are? The painted rim I assume is a name or unit identifier? The inked kanji in the inner liner

The surname reads from right to left:
笹木
Sasaki
The kanji preceding that is
[illegible number] ノ一
Something like “ 1 of Xn”
有義隊
Ariyoshi-tai
I’m guessing at 義. And I cannot make out the last two kanji on my iPhone — numbers?
Cheers,
