Based on these photos, I think it would stand a very good chance. I like it. Love the pattern.
I don't know the ranking system of the KM, but looks like it is named to an Unteroffizier so probably Heer/Luft?
I think Unteroffiziere was a rank in the KM. I have seen some KMs w the abbreviation painted on the rim BUT I think the Heer had its own huge Coastal Arty batteries.
I have never seen an HKP KM helmet so Def prob Heer or Lufty 😉

Not easy to authenticate these kind of patterns but i like it.
Why A ?
Materials used? Lack of period photos? Uncommon pattern ?
let me know. Thank you

Exactly. All the things you said Z.
The wear is another point not easy to analyze as you don't have so many to compare like those classic 2 or 3 colors sprayed or brush painted whatsoever...
In this specific helmet there is nothing that screams contrived both in the wear and the look. I mean like aging processes of any kind like fake patina, chemical agents, tool marks etc... It looks to me natural and not made to fool
