"Salad"
type cover for the Australian M1961 helmet. It is reversible, with an
olive green, and a brown side. The texture is a little rougher than
that of the French "salade". It is secured on the helmet with four
wire hooks. |

This cover is made of a piece
of cloth that has been fastened inside the helmet shell with black
insulation tape. |

Cover for the M1991 helmet,
secured on the helmet by eight velcro straps. Here shown on a U.S.

Here is a similiar cover, but
without the foliage bands. According to one source this may indicate
that it was issued to the Royal Australian Air Force, but this still
has to be confirmed. The year on the stamp is 199? (Maybe 1991). |

The desert pattern. It is hard
to see from this picture, but the pattern consists of five different
shades of sand to brown. I have included a close-up below that maybe
shows the pattern a little better. |
