Salut Bruno, I agree a museum would be the ultimate way to display Helmets, the cover is the exact pattern of the Mle-64 Jacket hood, and the camouflage pattern as you can see is similar but not the same as the Lizard camo pattern, thank you for agreeing with my hunch that this cover ( hood) is more than likely export. I have many African F2 pattern Jackets, which are in a similar Lizard like pattern, some of which have been successfully identified as being from Chad, Cameroun and various other nations, I suspect this hood was attached to one these type of African F2 jackets.
Thank you again, great to discuss this with a fellow fan of TAP-56 helmets, and especially a Frenchman as your nation's military specific information is very much appreciated , kind regards Opex
