Help ID Orange Helmet

Cleaning out the garage and found this helmet. Can't find exact match, especially regarding the five snaps on each side not to mention the color. My best guess looking online is maybe some HGU-16 variant. But not being a helmet collector I am at a bit of a loss.

 

Thanks in advance

SPH stands for Sound Protective Helmet. Usually used in helicopters. The orange painted ones could be from the mid

1950s-early 1960s. Have seen H-3 and H-4 helmets painted this way also. Check out this topic on the forum:
