Help with identfication

Hello everyone,

Could some please help me identify what helmet this is? I bought it today and at first glance it looked British, but I'm no longer sure. Under the front brim there are the letters Mc circled(sorry too faint for the camera). The liner is bolted on - three bolts in front, three in back. From what I can tell, it was originally painted white. I have more pictures if needed.

Thanks for your time

My french WW 1 helmet

Thought I would show this helmet I bought in the 1970´s from a flea market in Barcelona. The bluish gray original paint shows well under the Green overpaint. I was recently thinking about taking the greeen paint off when I suddenly realised it might have been reused in the Spanish Civil war. What do you guys think about this hypothesis? Does anyone have pictures to support my Grand idea ;)
