My second Belgian M51 Army helmet painted in the United Nations colors.
Only the outside of the helmet shell was painted in this UN blue, the inside stayed green.
It wasn't necessarily that the letters UN where painted at the side of the helmet.
I haven't found any liners painted in this specific color, so I don't know if these exist.
See pictures of this helmet before cleaning: M51 UN 2 before cleaning
To see the liner that came with this shell see Belgian M51 Army helmet UN 2 liner

I noticed something about Belgium helmets, see the stamp QC9,I think this has been done after repainting the helmet, notice that the inside painting is not the original paintl, the inside was repainted.
There is no heat stamp in the rim of this helmet showing its manufacturer and lot code, I have pictures of a Belgium helmet where the manufacturer and lot code is painted.
