Nice helmet setup. Most and I would say 80% of Vietnam Helmet setup are put together post war and this one is no different. You have a good example for display and congratulations.

Many thanks dear collectors, I have never seen before this one a helmet with same all period stamp, I search combat items rare to find...

Yes Marty is correct most M1 sets regardless of whether it's ww2 or Vietnam are generally put togethers for a purchase and of course display.
you have a nice complete set including the Nape which is usually always missing.add a pack of cigs or zippo but don't overload the look.Textbook vietnam grounds troop steel combat helmet.
