This is from the 1930 German movie Westfront 1918, real helmets no doubt, but must of have had their front split rivets replaced with something other then the standard flat faced ones as these as we see ae kinda domed.

These do look like mock up Fj Helmets right, kinda small looking, Chin Straps all wrong etc. The movie is from West Germany-France made one, 1958 The Green Devils Of Monte Cassino.

A Real M42 with a added Tricolor Shield, this from the remake of Sahara, post a few photos earlier in this topic of all the mock ups in this movie, but there was at least one real one.

One more Still of Williams and his Helmet, note he wears the wrong shoulder straps, his are Heer Infantry with White Waffenfarbe, the correct ones would be Golden Yellow with Black Under lay for Officers of SS  Panzer Reconnaissance  Battalions.  Also decent views of two of his troops, what is it they wear as Camo, Leibermuster?

The smocks were made from 1950s Bundeswehr Ameobatarn zeltbahns.

A Mock Up in the 1978 Mini Series Holocaust. And he's wearing the wrong color Waffenfarbe, Concentration Camp personnel wore Brown Waffenfarbe not the White of the Infantry.

The waffenfarbe isn't necessarily incorrect. Many wounded or recuperating Waffen SS soldiers were assigned guard duty or other duties within the concentration camp system.

Would they be transferred to the Totenkopfverbände for the present?

From the 1985 ANZACS, looks like the same helmet seen in the remake of All Quiet On The Western Front, good mock up size and shape wise, but lacking certain things as we see.
