Captured British Helmet used by Japanese Military

[Ryukyutunnelrat]

I was hoping someone here can help me identify the marking in the liner of the helmet. British Helmet captured and reused by the Japanese Military indicated by the repaint and Kanji written on the front which translate to "Security" and the kanji numbers written on the back rim of the helmet. The link below shows a similier helmet in another collection. I can see the liner dated 1941 but can't make out the manufacturer. Thank you for any assistance.

Great looking lid , i can see some kind of auxillery unit being issued captured British helmets during the war, very interesting indeed.

Cool Helmet, reminds me of the Japanese guards with SMLE rifles in "Bridge on the River Kwai"

Hi David,

That' s a very unique Allied helmet that was used by the Japanese Field Police.

Can you post the whole inner part of the helmet, would like to see the chinstrap suspensions.

Thank you and regards,
Taka

Taka, Here you go. Thanks all for the comments so far. I have looked all over the internet for this type of liner marking and still can'f find it. As mentioned its dated 1941 and has the liner size as "7". Unfortunately, cannot make out any markings on the helmet due to the thick overpaint.
