Mock Up Fallschirm Helmets 1958 movie Darby's Rangers

[patches]

Seen these two images from the 1958 movie Darby's Rangers, think this is the Anzio sequence, at first they might of been those Bundesgrensschutz helmets, but seems to be mock ups, note the rivet placements, even the chin straps are off, see the loops on them. Note too the ridiculously oversized Tricolor Shield common to 40s and 50s movies where helmets are worn, usually M16-M18. Also the Y Straps are not Y Straps, just a bunch of unknown straps connected into a Y

Yet the set crew managed to get the MG42 just right. Small details not so important at that time. The gun all the vets remembered very important.
