You need to take shots level with the helmet front back and both sides for a proper evaluation. The pics from the top distort the view. From these images it looks like the helmet has been repainted. The helmet guys will be along shortly and clarify. Good luck.
FYI - Two piece vent hole construction and rolled rim edges = M35, one piece vent hole construction and rolled rim edges = M40, flared rim edges (not rolled) = M42.

Thanks Aldo, I'll get some level ones and update soon - I did notice I hadn't taken any as I was uploading them, which is definitely not very helpful to see it properly.

The paint does not appear to be period original.
Yes, the "64" is the size of the helmet shell in centimeters. The "EF" is the manufacturer. In this case, Emaillerwerke AG, Fulda.
There are a variety of primers available on the web to learn about German helmets. I would also check out our own member Schwerpunkt's website as well as just reading through this forum and learning from the many nice original examples that members have shared.

The serif font indicates an early run and the lot # seems to me to be 455 which is pretty early too.

Definitly repainted, the inside looks... black? Could be that it got used as a post-war fire police helmet, or it got otherwise repainted. The liner is definitly Original, but impossible to tell if it belongs to that helmet.

Paint looks relatively recent
