Possibly from a european fire brigade? My guess is 40's-60's.

Is there a maker mark on the inside at the top of the dome? It looks like an old Civil Defense helmet.

After the war many of the unused helmets were dispersed to other government agencies (forestry department, etc) and municipalities (for fire departments, etc), so I agree it would be hard to say why its painted that way. :icon_scratch:
