WW1 British MKI Helmet

Evening gents, I could do with some informed input on this one as WW1 is not my usual area. I picked this MKI up from my local junk shop for £80 as I thought it would look good with my Great Granddads WW1 medal pair. I think it is a late war example as it has a rim, I cannot see any makers marks on either the steel due to the thick paint, or the liner. Just how much of the liner is there or missing I do not know so your help would be appreciated in that respect! Also under the thick dark over paint there appears to be a unit insignia of some kind, looks like three red vertical lines?
Anyway, your thoughts are greatly appreciated, thanks, Leon.
