Perhaps he used an older helmet when he was sent abroad with 2bn s.lancs or changed his flash as needed, or they manufactured this model for a long time.
Yes, the helmet itself is certainly an earlier model. The flash must have been utilized at a much later time, which is of course quite possible.
A very nice example by the way!
