Navy gunner on a river patrol boat Vietnam War

[MAS36]

 

here's a nice photo of a sailor on a river patrol boat during the Vietnam War manning a .50 cal mg

 

notice the color of his helmet? it looks white or possible light grey? I usually see patrol boat crews wearing regular army green painted helmets.

 

his M1 helmet must be a WWII era helmet? it has the tan sewn on type chin straps

MAS,

 

Lots of Navy M1 helmets painted grey.
