Next up are OD visors, I think these are SP-4? 

And a white visor with a couple others (smoke/clear), do all these go together and what model do they fit, what do the bars do?

And this I have no clue....they were all in a bag together, so assume they go together, but am not sure, and what would be the model/designation?

Thanks everyone again for the help, I have a P-4a and P-4b helmet out of this huge lot I purchased which I will be keeping (will probably be the next series of pics I post), will need some assistance tracking down some of the visor parts, but that will probably be the big two "keep items" out of everything I purchased in this massive lot.  Again, appreciate the help, as my thing is more field gear (US WW1-Vietnam), and German WW1/WW2.  Chris....

The green lensed glasses look like "anti-laser" glasses, We were issued two pairs, one set with brown lenses, one with green lenses, when we were deployed in Desert Shield/Storm as part of our flight gear. They were really comfortable to wear and we were required to turn them back in when we returned to the states.

The first helmet is definitely an early APH-5A (white Army version with specific audio + strings / stud earcups retention) from the VN era.

These white shells were often repainted green (OG-107) in country. Named to somebody called JOHNSON, I guess.

 

Here's how a complete shell would look like, if it can be of help :

The 2 green visor housings are for single-visor SPH-4.

However, the clear / neutral grey visors (with metal retention arms) that come next are likely -for I don't know these particular part numbers- meant for SPH-4 dual visors with Ramshorn housing (they would also fit a NAVY SPH-3).

The Colorado ANG housing is a PRU-36/P for a dual-visor HGU-26/P helmet (but would also fit an HGU-2A/P helmet) ; USAF stuff.
