World War II-style plastic helmet?

I volunteer at a local museum. I was helping to update the World War II case and found that one helmet was plastic. It looks like the American style brain buckets and the inside even looks like the helmet liner in those steel helmets with actual straps and webbing. There are unit insignias on each side, but I haven't had the time to find out which units yet. I have no idea what type it is, but think it could be a type used at bases during marches. Can anyone help me with this. I can provide additional details ad needed. Can anyone help me with this.

Sorry for not uploading these right away. The curator was using the camera and I just got a hold of it. Hopefully the URL works. If not, let me know and I'll fix it.
By the way, it's not a helmet liner with these insignia on it. I do own a World War II helmet and the liner's metal.

It probably is a helmet liner for the "steel pot" helmet worn until the Kevlar helmets came out in the early 1980's. I used to wear a helmet liner on duty as an MP. MP's helmet liners were often worn as part of the garrison law enforcement uniform. They were painted gloss black, with a large "MP" on the front, with the unit insignia's on each side. Yours may be a helmet liner painted and marked for special assignments or parades.

After looking at your attached photos of the unit insignias on the helmet liner, here's your answer!
