Yes Rene, identical as far as I can tell to the M56/76 plastic cradle type as opposed to the earlier M56 that you have there so I guess that may date it to a certain extent as that type of liner originates around 1966 but as I say I have the idea that the "plasthelm" appeared in the '70s.

Ah, only half of your post appeared initially!!
Are those plastic helmets too with the M56 liner? That puts a different slant on it! The third picture wasn't there at first and only the first part of the text so I didn't notice the rim difference.

...well that depends....if you go over to the dark side of helmets....you know where I mean..... you're no longer a "collector"........you then become known as a "bore" :-)

I just looked again as I am multi tasking at the moment (I thought only women could do that, should I be worried?)
I notice now that the liners shown by Rene have small pads between the liner and shell plus they don't have holes punched in the leather apart from the drawstring holes. It is still very similar to the early liners so I wonder if this means my type is the later of the two?
The plot thickens!

Yep, and the juvenile jokes about "polishing his helmet" become slightly less amusing
