I believe it to be the last for digits of the persons SERVICE NUMBER, not serial number. This is what I was told upon entering the service. Serial numbers are on weapons. FR19672477

Nice helmet. Does the liner have a little hole center front. If it does it may be original to the helmet. Original liners with the webbing and swet band intact can be almost as valuable as the helmet!
First I was ER18868176. "ER" stood for Enlisted Reserve, then RA18868176 when I went "Regular Army". "US" proceeded the service number for Draftees, and NG was used by National Guard. Then came the Social Security number.

then S/N these were from 1953 until 1973.
