            Mark,

            The outside paint and insignia are post war applied. By who, I do not know. The M16 liner system is original to this shell. The chinstrap looks a little thick, but appears to be original also.

                I was thinking maybe the Reichswehr and Freikorps units.

                  the paint sure is a mystery. If you look at the top,around the vents and rim,looks like paint loss from wear
