Afghan National Army Used Romanian m73/80
The ANA were commonly seen wearing the Romanian M73/80 helmet in the mid 2000's before being phased out by the kevlar helmet around 2010. Occasionally you will see a soldier wearing one of these in recent years but by the time the ANA were defeated by the Taliban, the Romanian helmets were not being used anymore.
The helmet below was a bring back by a U.S. soldier, although nothing is known about his service. It is undoubtably Afghan though, as it sports a custom made cover worn only by ANA soldiers. Helmets that have proof of being Afghan used are extremely uncommon.

There is faded writing on the back
The ANA soldier in the front is wearing the M73/80 with a cover exactly like the one on the helmet. The other soldiers in the row are wearing it without the cover, except for the guy wearing the kevlar helmet 2nd from the left.
