How to tell whether a Mk.1* Brodie was used by the BEF

Just a general enquiry,

How do you tell if a Brodie Mk.1* was used by the British Expeditionary Force. 

I.E. Was there any special markings? What colour were they (one of he various military greens or even brown?)? Is there a certain manufacturer or date?

 

Many Thanks,

Tom

Hi Kenny,

I asked some people on another forum and they said that:

If the helmet has non standard khaki paint, a 1937/1938 dated liner, MKI chinstrap fitting and strap, plus a division flash to a known BEF unit , then it has a chance.
