Looks like it from the little picture. The helmet is a UK MOD designed helmet designed for CT ops. Under current IPR policy anything developed with the MOD can be sold on by the manufacturer, which looks like what this is; obviously without any QA validation by a third party.

Very interesting! In a fit of pre-emptive procurement 1200 hybrid Osprey V3 covers were procured based on the PECOC conclusions. Most have sat on the shelf because of a lack of commitment to the PECOC candidate cam suggestions, the whole issue of which has bounced up to the highest levels. There has been some work done with boarding parties and anti-piracy operations just before and after Christmas and they did need some short notice kit, some of which was local purchase, some was PECOC kit and some was existing inventory. I was not sighted on their armour requirements but I can image these surplus covers being used to allow the retention of other stock. This type of stuff is a run of the mill job that has to be catered for in addition to PECOC, Future Army Dress, new helmets, body armour, complaints about boots and new track suits and all the other stuff.
