It looks distinctly like a post- war refurbishment of a wartime shell to me.

Not M-35's. M-40 if anything but any pics of the stampings inside (back or sides) would help determine if they are german manufactured. Liners are not wartime.

its especially clear this is a hasty paintjob if you look at the grey helmet pic where you can see very clearly paint that have dripped and dried

Thanks! Not uncommon for the stampings to be obscured with multiple coats of paint. So not much more I can provide on originality or origins.

ok is there any way to remove the new layers of paint without completely destroying the original paintjob
-
but is it rust under the paint? or is it something else perhaps paint flakes?
-
I would leave as it. But just my view.
There would be two places the helmets are typically stamped (with a punch, not ink). The back (which has the Batch #) and the side by the chin strap (for the maker and size...i.e. Q62, or NS64).
