I have a WW2 civil defense helmet, any help in unlocking its secrets is much appreciated in advance! I have deciphered the kanji on the inside of the helmet as "Nishihara" 425. Would this be the Okinawa town that was leveled in the Battle of Okinawa, or the surname of someone? And any thoughts on the "425"? I however was unable to decipher (by Google Lens) the painted symbol on the front of the helmet. Any information would be of immense help. Thank you.

I was scratching my head over that kanji, it looked like a partial 並 on top but i've never seen that part by itself
