Only the outside of the helmet shell was painted in this UN blue, the inside stayed green.
It wasn't necessarily that the letters UN where painted at the side of the helmet.
I haven't found any liners painted in this specific color, so I don't know if these exist.
To see the liner that came with this shell see M51 helmet liner this Airforce line has been replaced by an originally green ABL liner see Belgian M51 Army helmet UN liner replacement
