Rare/prototype U.S. M1917 helmet, or a fake?

[Flying10uk]

Does anyone know if any of these U.S. made "Brodie" style helmets were ever made under contract or sent under lend lease to the U.K. during WW2, please? I have never heard it suggested that they were but equally I have never heard that they were not. Perhaps someone has one that is known to have seen British service. Logically I can see no reason why they should not have been sent to the U.K., for British service.

They were sent to the Philippines during early WW2 , used by the Philippine Scouts, also used by the Chinese Nationalists, and Ive also seen them used by Morrocan troops during WW2
