Photographic differences between an M40, and an M40/55 helmet?
Do any of y'all know of pictures comparing the WWII M40 helmets, vs. the WWII to post war M40/55 used by the Fins? I've been drooling over the IMA USA M40/55s, but I can't make up my mind on them. Anyways, I'd sure like to see photos differentiating between the two in case I ever get confused later on. They look pretty darn similar to my still novice eye.

I can say for a WW2 collector there are many other signs to look for. I never compared a Ww2 helmet with a post war one. Post war used shells mocked up as WW2 helmets are easy to identify due to wrong paint , stamps , decals.
My advice always is study the real ones.

Easiest difference is the Vent in my Opinion. If you look long enough at helmets you´ll learn to even distinguish the WW2 makers by Vent-Style.
