It is most definitely a "copy" of the Wz. 32 helmet, as you say.
Did anything at all differ from the standard Wz. 32?

Fascinating. I can certainly say I did not know the Yugoslavs used the vz32 under any name, and I did wonder whether this was a confusion with post invasion pro-fascist troops being issued with seized stocks of Czech helmets. But no. A few minutes checking does show that the Yugoslavs did indeed use this helmet before the outbreak of war, along with a startling variety of other types. Whether it was locally made under licence, I remain somewhat unconvinced. Is there any proof of this anywhere? The Czechs exported a lot of military hardware.

Hello Greg. i don't have proof, but some helmets have ink stamp of factory in town "Čačak" which is in Serbia today and i belive that this type of helmet was produced in Yugoslavia under licence.

The Cacak helmet was produced in Serbia under the licence of the czech helmets but it´s colour was green. They were worn by serbian soldiers that was under the german puppet goverment. Those forces were called Nedic or Ljotic forces.
