Estonian helmet???

Hello all,

This helmet was found in Estonia. Although Germans and Russians fought there, i don't recognize it as a German or Russian helmet. I did some research and I think it is an M40 Estonian helmet, but i'm not sure. I hope someone can identify this helmet. It has some battledamage on top. If more pictures are required let me know!

Thanks in advance.

Really need pics from all angles and the interior if possible for an informed opinion.

I will try to guess is an swedish helmet after the shape

Ok, here some new pictures. I took pictures from the side, the front and from the inside. Inside there's only one 'hook' (or whatever it's called) remaining. Another small thing (see pic) was found inside the helmet, and I believe it was once part of the helmet. I hope these pictures are good enough to identify the helmet.

That is Estonian M 40, or a Polish experimental, which was sent to Estonia in a batch, and was issued by Estonian army, then by Red Army, that helmets was widely used in Estonia- and then in all the ways where Red Army retreat, within first months of the operation Barbarossa begins
