Hi everyone, thanks for the subject and the photographs in the posts above.
About six years ago I had around 100 or so original unissued camo helmet covers for sale ( all gone sorry). They were all still folded and bundled ( 20's I recall ) and tied up as at the day of manufacture. They were second pattern, in that they had the slots around the head for foliage, but they also had a single slot in each of the fold under ' ears', the blueprints for this pattern are dated Sept 1942. There is no slot for the chin straps, the Marines would have had to cut this theirselves, also there was no EGA ( eagle ) stamped on it either side. what you may also be able to see from the attached photo is the variations in the colors of the spots and the backgrounds as different bolts of cloth were used.

I will try and dig out one of my Vietnam era helmet covers with "MP" on it. Basically just stenciled on in black letters from what I remember.
