Need id on two helmets please.

I came across these two helmets yesterday, but I don't really have an idea I presume they are British but they could also be Canadian, I think.

Helmet one:

What makes you think Canadian? Is there a C broad arrow mark?

The leather neck guard is unusual. I'm trying to remember if perhaps I've seen another like that which had been used by a Belgian or Dutch fire department, but I'm not sure.

first: Canadian helmet shell original ww2 but used post war by the dutch army or fire brigades ... (liner is post war)

second: I believe a British shell, but also a post war liner

Looks like 2 British helmet shells but reused by the Dutch post war with there liners.

Thanks for the info, how about the collour on the helmets are they original or post war?

[Bond]

Post war Dutch reused and repainted, the only thing original to WWII is the shells.
