Differences between M35 and M40 are those little holes isn't it?

The M35 has grommets inserted in to the vent holes on the sides of the helmet, whereas the M40 has the vent holes simply stamped out of the steel shell.
As for the M42 - it has the same vents as an M40, but the rim around the edge of the helmet is not rolled under as on the M35 and M40.
