This is the Austrian M75 steel combat helmet, it's a version of the US M1 helmet or Euro Clone of the M1.
Bundesheer is the Austrian Armed Forces,
This model has a German style leather liner design similar to the West German FJ 60 liner pattern, the quick release chin strap is also borrowed from the West German helmets of the era, the M75 also has two special spring tension liner clips to prevent the liner from falling out.
This Austrian Bundesheer helmet was manufactured in 1976 by the firm Ulbricht`s Witwe in Schwanenstadt , Upper Austria.
Outer Steel Shell & Plastic liner both have the same maker markings inside: U-SCH-76/1
A complete matching set with correct camo netting.

Glad you liked it SEAN, Ive been searching for one of these with the extra liner retention spring clips for a while to complete my collection, plus both pieces are matching by maker and year of manufacture!
