The second one is a beret. In fact it rather reminds me of some I've seen that were made in South Vietnam, with the cotton tape tie.

There was a WWII jungle beret which this looks like.
The bush hats change little from 44, but how this applies to Aussie kit I could not say.

Whatever
its just an opinion.

Beret is WW2 and a 1st type with the foliage loops. here's '44 & '45 (no loops)

sorry about the ss & brady bunch rubbish

Don't mention the B-B or you will cause me an ear worm!
Did the B-B ever wear SS helmets? That would be a freaky episode.

The Beret is a Australian WW2 issued headdress for jungle fighting. Correct the band is for vegetation.
Certain units used them during training in the late 50-late 60s in Australia.
1 RAR used them in 65 in SVN.
I have not seen any dated ones post WW2.
These berets with the cloth loops are slightly different to the work berets in green and khaki - made for tradesmen etc
