Thank You all for the confirmation 😊
this might be (most likely is) stupid question, but when I checked the lot database I noticed that with same lot number there is Q62 SD Heer helmet ? Is it common to have different sizes with same lot number ?

Lot lists are good for establishing patterns and that's about it. You can have same lot numbers spread across different makers and sizes going to the same or multiple branches of the Wehrmacht. Nice lid!
