Sierra changed the nomenclature from Combat Vehicle crewman to Armored Vehicle Crewman on this helmet...the cut is also different than the standard CVC helmet...

I hate to use the word experimental but it is unpainted...a factory test helmet?

Few more pics…any thoughts? The earphones are held in place by a screw on the outside of the helmet, similar to APH-6 flight helmets

It's a prototype dated circa 1972. According to the sound attenuation and bump protection reports, it didn't do very well in testing. The photos from Natick show it looking just like that, without paint.
