Just bought this gray overpaint M40 NS62.
The shots look after the painting is done.There might be some decal left

Over paint IMHO is post war. Was painted after the liner and split pins were removed.

Also looks like someone varnished the interior while the liner was still in the helmet

So its shot after its painted extract the right color after the war ? Very unlikely to me . The inside is some green grau and not varnish.
This is An example of one almost the same

I see signs of wear from a split pin on one side, but not on the other, which is really suspicious. The color on the example you show does not seem to have the exact same color, but a a bit darker tone to it. Very hard to determine if it is original or not imo.

You can clearly see this one is post war painted , the rivet holes , the rim. The interior.

Post-war painted and used as a range toy - in English, shot for fun. That is most definitely not battle damage.

Edit: if those even are bullet dints, that is. Could've been something else as well of course.
