Thank you. The markings are supposed to represent Canadian Army Ammunition Technician (see last pic I got from the internet).
There is also a faint C and arrow on the back which is a Canadian symbol.

Any chance of seeing a shot of the C-Broad Arrow mark on this helmet.
Edit... Or is that large yellow mark on the back supposed to be it.

Adopted by Canada as standard in 1960, a limited number had been in Canadian service since the Second World War. Beginning in the late 1960s an American pattern reversable camouflage cover was issued, as well as a white cover for winter. American Woodland Pattern camouflage covers started to appear in Canadian service by the late 1980's.
It was replaced in 1997 with the CG634 Fritz style helmet.
