The Mk3 chin strap would have been issued as & when the Mk2 chin straps needed replacing from 1941 onwards. While the Mk3 helmet would have been issued with the Mk3 chin strap, although you do see some Mk3 helmets with the Mk2 chin strap.
I guess it would have depended on what stores had in at the time.

Mint Canadian MKII
Just thought I should add my mint Canadian MKII helmet stamped CLC 1942 74 with a 7 and 1/8th sized liner. I have never removed the liner to find out the maker as I don't want to disturb it. One thing I have noticed is that the Canadian liners are of a higher quality than the British ones specially the late war ones.
I will be adding some other MKII's which I have not posted before.
thanks

There will be no need to remove the liner to check the manufacturer it looks Canadian to me which means it was produced by the Viceroy manufacturing company and they were the sole producer of Canadian liners .
