M38's are not a strength of mine. Hopefully someone will be around shortly.
The strap condition however appears very new compared to the rest of the interior.

The decal is a post war reproduction.

The wear on the liner band is much worse than on the liner and chinstrap so this points to a possible replacement.

Welcome to the forum..
Looking forward to seeing the other items from the collection you purchased..
Hopefully we will have better news on the other items..

I forgot to mention this in my first post and happy to be wrong or hear from other (where is Terry when you need him) but I'm not sure that is the correct textured paint either.
Examples I have held (not too many) with that earlier vented spanner bolt configuration had smooth paint. Mid war non-vented slotted bolt examples I think had a light textured paint. And as I hold my very late war flared rim (vented/slotted bolts) example, it too has a very light textured paint.

Wire decal , and I suspect even the liner is bad. Shell even as well perhaps , can you post a photo of the maker stamp.
