Hello, the Soviet helmets were painted white.However, this paint was made from chalk.The paint is not very durable. Poorly maintained. If the helmet from the ground ,the color may vary. I have a few Ssh36 with the stars from the earth. The dirt changed color to green brown. Your helmet is very similar to the helmet from the ground. It was cleaned with acid. Inside are visible traces of the fluid.
