A paratrooper helmet dated 1972, but which country? Help please

I found this in that cache of helmets that i found in my cedar chest,
the style looks like english but i have bever seen a tin inner shell.
There are markings which photograph poorly indicating the initials c.w.l. Also a size 71/4and what i presume is a date 1972.
There is an aged cardboard tag which has an inscription cfn buckley.. The sizing and name suggest an anglo saxon origin. The liner shows wear with 2 small leather attachments and a rear buckle.there is a broad arrow which suggests a british empire origin. I wonder whether this is a butchered helmet with inner liner? I am going to sell all my helmets now and have used ebay and paypal but i would appreciate the members description and thoughts. Theliner reminds me of the the ssh 36 in that the liner allows airflow inside the helmet.also like the french adrian,

Question Any information on the 25th Armored Engineer Battalion C Company?

My Great Grandfather was part of C Company. I have searched the internet to no avail. I do have copies of his important military documents, but there is no history of C Company. His name was Ellis O. Ferris and was a rifleman. He received a bronze star for his actions between April and May 1945. I do not know much more about that, he was also a rifleman. I have all of his medals (not selling). I will have pictures of his stuff up soon. Please any information on C Company is appreciated, and helping deciphering what is said on a few papers is also greatly appreciated.
