Well, actually you have three British helmets & 1 Australian. The steel helmets, all Mk1 HSAT (helmets, steel, airbourne troops) the last two being converted post war by Australia with webbing straps instead of leather.
The last one, made by Duprite, probably spelt that wrong, is a despatch riders helmet, but was used by Aussie para's in training.

Thanks for the info mate! that shows how much I know about them hahha :P When you say they are all Mk1 HSAT, what do you mean by that because there are 2 different style helmets. Are the ones with the bumper band older? I just found the label, and you were right it was made by duperite!
