That's a very uncommon police configuration.
It's almost impossible to find a 40 ef police and if factory produced probably would have the ef style set ( commonly seen on 42).
This decal set is the one often found on police reissues....and they are usually heavily laquered...
This case could be a 40 police reissue? But it's the first I see.
This could also be factory decaled helmet even if the job looks very sloppy?
In that case it' s uncommon too, cause in my experience the 40 unbordered police are almost all et
Hope it helpe

I have seen very few of any type TR helmet with decals lacquered over, mostly Wehrmacht ones, but all had this heavy application to protect the decal. This is the first police one I have ever seen.
