    I don't think the first character is a number but the second painted character is a seven. No one has been able to prove once and for all what these numbers truly are they may be unit markings or something related to inventory, who knows.

    To me these look like gulf war 1 pickup M80 style helmets.

    Nice pieces, you don't see painted helmets very often!
