I could use help dating this cammo cover.

Im thinking its from tyne late 50's early 60's ? Thats judging by the helmet and liner.

 

I have no idea how to read these things. It sits on a refurbished McCord front seam

with korean era chin straps and has a ww2 liner with some post ww2 parts.

But I sure could use help with the stamp on this cover.

Thank you all.

Cool! Thank you and thank you for telling me how to read them. Were these typ with the green and tan leaf pattern made in the 50's too?

Or just the 1960's?

Cap Camouflage Pattern I

They started in 1959 for sure, or possibly 1958 since some are seen in film of the Lebanon crisis in 1958 but it could be mis captioned film

Here are more pictures so you can see the whole thing . Its a weird lid. Front seam refinished with the sand texture. Korean era chinstraps.

A ww2 liner with a 60's sweatband and the 1969 cover which I didn't want to take off because it seems like its molded to the helmet. But I think the cover does not belong with it because there are no signs of rust on the helmet and looks like rust on the cover.

Its a weird one.
