            It is hard to tell A., viewing from online photos. Will shoot a detail and post it soon.

            Meanwhile, a detail of the khaki helmet.

              Cheers John, this is the very nice named khaki SD helmet on page 76 of your book I believe. It has a slightly more yellow hue in the book than in picture 1 here.
              The detail above also appears to show a yellower undercoat too where the outer coat has flaked off ?

                Thanks for showing and writing the details!

                These items with that known historical Background are remarkable!
