I assume you are new to this? The difference is that an M35 has a seperate piece inserted into the hole made for the air vent. The M40 has this simply stamped into the shell during manufacture. Simply look at the interior where the vent is and you can tell .....

The photos are pretty poor there is not a lot you can say about the overall helmet .I have never seen markings like that before either on the net or in any book .Rob
