Anti-Flash Hood

Here is something I know nothing about. I picked this up in a lot, together with an Argentinian M1 helmet, and some 7.62 cases dated 1978. The helmet looks OK for the Falklands War era, but I have drawn a blank on dating this hood. It does not feel like 100% cotton, as I know these were changed to cotton after the Falklands. Any ideas if this is correct for the Falklands era? Is the 78 on the label the date of manufacture?
Thanks in advance,

Andy
