It looks original, but you have to keep in mind that these helmets are faked now, as well. I would love to see some close-ups of the decals, since I have a very similar helmet which was found in my neighbourhood. Original examples are quite rare.
I don't know what the abbreviation is standing for, but you should ask some collectors of Dutch pre-1940 regalia - they will probably have the answer on your question.

Hi Patrick,
That is a nice original helmet. These are quite tough to find, actually. Some helmets were painted entirely black, others still have the green paint inside. Here are some close-ups of my helmet.
