the PLA were mostly using refurbished WW2 Japanese helmets , they didnt make new helmets until the late Vietnam war , as seen in the 1979 Sino Vietnam border war , like the GK 80 helmet.

since the Chinese were not on good relations with the North Vietnamese during the mid to late 1970's, they probably didnt supply very many if any? to the NVA
Im sure the North Vietnamese did make...
the soldier in that photo is a PLA / Chinese late 1970's or early 1980's

would the PAVN have used any captured PLA GK80 type helmets?
did China supply Vietnam with any combat helmets like the type used by the PLA known as the model GK80
I have a feeling...
