I created this image and list of terms/parts used in the ESB dented helmet. The intention was to get words to search for in this great forum. When searching I suggest that you also include “RafalFett”, he has posted some amazing details and original research about the helmets.

The terms used in the image:

1. Rangefinder
2. 2 red LED
3. 3 lamps-white
4. Arm/Stalk
5. Polaroid™ SX-70 Viewfinder eyepiece
6. Perspex™ lens block
7. Dome
8. Dent
9. 14 Kill stripes
10. Fingerprint
11. British anti-riot helmet chin strap & cup
12. Left earpiece/cap
13. Physical damage
14. Cheeks (Upper and Lower)
15. Mandibles
16. T-visor, smoked perspex
17. 3-hole Borden connector
18. Right lower earpiece/cap
19. Keyhole, 6 slots
20. CASIO™ MQ-1 circuit board
21. Letraset™ dry transfers Folio® bold condensed
22. Right upper earpiece/cap
23. Cat scratch
24. Brow
25. Turn signals/Triangles
26. Rectangle/Rectangular indent/Hollow dash/Gutter
27. Backplate

Surely there are other named details? What do you call them?

=== Edits:
#25 identified by superjedi as "Turn signals" and Fett 4 Real as "Helmet triangles".
#26 Some suggestions: Rectangle [Fett 4 Real] / Rectangular indent/Hollow dash [RafalFett] / Gutter [Cyris], only "rectangle" seems to be used in the forum.
Added Upper and Lower cheeks and Backplates, thanks RafalFett.
Also changed to "Polaroid™ SX-70 viewfinder eyepiece", which seems to be the term used in manuals.

I'm thinking of for example:
- Ear decals (for the white areas?)
- Flares

MV, nice work!
I think most people would refer to the missing term as "turn signals."

You did a great work! The missing part should be named rectangular indent or hollow dash.You should also separate the cheeks in lower and upper cheeks and you can also add the back plates to the corresponding parts.

I've never really called that little rectangle anything except a little rectangle.

I thought the little rectangle was called the "gutter." I can't remember where I've seen it referred to as such around here, but I swear I've seen it before... Anyway, great job, Mars! I like "turn signals" as well!

Updated image and thinking of adding "ear decal" for the white areas.
Just used "Rectangle" in the image.
This is my message number 5, I'm a regular now I guess.

My apologies to the veterans for resurrecting an old thread but this is very helpful. And I've noticed I'm not the only newbie on the forum.

I'm surprised this hasn't been raised to 'Sticky'. By pouring over the various posts and discovering much of the terminology and acronyms, I had figured out much of the obvious. One item that alluded me was the "Borden 3 hole dental". I even read through the thread pertaining to that. I studied many images as I don't have a bucket yet. I kept thinking, 'WTF'. Now I know. Thanks.

My assumption is after further digging I might come across the same for the gauntlets and jp (jet pack).

Best-
