Mk1*

[SMP]

One from the collection. An early MKI* with magnetic rim ( there is a white "M" stamp inside)

[SMP]

Another one. More of a MKI*/MKII hybrid. Note the paint is much more like that normally found on early MKIIs. It has a non magnetic rim .

[SMP]

Another MKI*/MKII hybrid, this time with a thick layer of sand camouflage applied over the original khaki.

Great collection.
Why Mk1*/Mk2 Hybrid?

[SMP]

Great collection.
Why Mk1*/Mk2 Hybrid?

Only because they have MKII chinstrap lugs and straps, rather than the rare MKI straps and lugs.

Now we are going to get technical, but you are right.
Helmet, Steel, Mk2 = Mk1 helmet body with stainless rim. Mk2 chin strap, Mk2 chin strap lugs, Mk1 lining, and Mk1 lining securing bolt.
The rest will be an Mk1*.
We have just halved our Mk1* collection.

My definition of a MK2 is based purely on the shell date
