Hi guys,
Don't know if this is acceptable for the forum, but I'm in collecting modern canadian militaria and maybe of interest for someone, so i share it with you.
The first three pictures are of the helmet that was in service before the actual CADPAT one:




The next three are of the helmet used in the 70's. The camo cover is reversible to a brownish leaves pattern:
