Here's a postwar M62 I bought off another helmet collector, pretty good shape, just with some external wear and light rusting in the missing paint areas.
According to Middle East Militaria, this is a "3rd Pattern" model with a postwar liner, suspension, and chinstrap assembly than the early and wartime M62s.
It also features a "martyrs" headband, these come in a variety of different color background and texts, and the text themselves seem to have some difference as well.
From what I've heard different units have their own colors and phrases, but I have no idea what this one signifies.
If anyone else has any M62s or other Iranian helmets, feel free to post them here!
And a dump of different Iranian helmet pics:
