Multi piece USN cap ID: Combination Cap

I have 5 different covers but no visor rim. Looks like they button on. Also is there a spring or a form to keep it's shape?

 

Trying to figure out what I am looking for.

The combination cap consists of the frame, cap band and insignia, strap, side buttons, and cover (removable). To replace covers, unscrew the side buttons and remove them and the strap. Peel the insignia band off by pulling down on the rear. Pull the cover up and off the frame and ring (bending the ring as necessary for removal). Assemble in reverse.

Thanks to all for info.
Now I need to see if I can pick one up in serviceable condition. Off to the WTB page.

Blue covers were dropped in 1963. I can’t tell if the other one is gray or green. Gray dropped in 1949.

This is from a grouping I posted here.
