Proper paint for restorations of SSh-36, and SSch-40 kaska

Tovarischi;

I am doing restorations on a pair of kaska, as referenced above. The SSh-36 was captured by the Finns, and repainted by them into flat black. The SSch-40 is just plain rusty, and neither is nice looking at the moment.

I want to get them as close to the, or a correct shade for Soviet service as possible.

I know that the SSh-36 tended to be a very dark, almost black, green. What is the best match out there for this color?

As to the SSch-40, that is more the bright green as used during the GPW, so again, I am looking for the best possible match.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated!

The paint is near to the German M40 helmets but I do not have color codes

Nice looking, but the additional ventilation is disquieting,

I think I know the helmet's owner, that is a Jury from St Petersburg- his nick name on the Russian forum something like Verpsh? I think I havesold him a M 35 if I right remember
