Hi Didier,
Well it looks like it's been on there a long time The white spear over red is the 1st Corps, the 68 looks like a typical number that they used on there vehicles. I'm sure there will be someone here who will give you more info, I would love to have such a helmet

Corps vehicles attached to Casualty Clearing Stations in NWE had the number 68 on a black square, maybe a connection
