These look good. One question though. What years can these figures represent? I know the IDF now uses US-style CVCs, but when were the earlier ones w/what I call wings over the ears in use?

1980s for sure...lots of pics showing Merkava, Magach, and Sho't tank crews wearing them during the 1982 Lebanon invasion.

These helmets where in use until about 2003 but you still see them in use in the IDF tank school today.Those are very nice figures and I will have to get a set of them at least.
