The second one is a very interesting variant, i've never seen that before!..
I have some M53's similar to the lower one but with a nylon 4 point chinstrap. A later issue I imagine.
hi gunny these former soviet ssh40 turn up from time to time and are a bit different from the norm and andy ,i believe the examples you own are designated m53/80 and as youve guessed introduced in 1980 the 4 point chinstrap offered more stability thanks for dropping by ,regards james

the last helmet in your photos is in great condition. the cover make a good addition to the helmet to. look like a bit of a chalnge to get the cover on or is it strait forward job to do. my czech helmet in poor conditon but is all there just missing the chin strap buckle.
Nice one mate!....
