"new" person m38 helmet

[will1300]

Hello, First time posting here really, been looking for quite a time though.
Recently i came across a m38 helmet, got it quite cheap (20 euro).
Ive been collecting german helmets for a while now, but i dont really have any experience for Fallschirmjäger helmets.

Im aware only ET made the helmet.
The one i am in possession of is marked ET 87 A, i know Quist did test helmets which got marked with an A or B, and did not have a batch number.
This got me wondering for the m38 DD helmet i have, which does not have a batch number either, and are instead marked with ET 87 A. I know there was no helmet marked size 87, only 66 68 71.

Check photos for more detail.
Hoping for some information

Sincerely Will
