Hello Nack. Actually the only leather liner pattern known on SSh-36 helmet is the Shvartz Kaska liner type shown on p. 30 from M. Clawson book. So fare that's the only leather pattern I have noticed on SSh-36 helmets. It is said on M. Clawson book that a "one-piece seven leather liner" was put in the version used in the SSh-36 during the civil war in Spain. But because the German-style liner proved to be very costly, it was abandoned for cloth liners. That's the only leather liner version ever made for SSh-36 helmets.
The leather fingers liner type (like the German ones) was briefly reintroduced in the later SSh-39 model, but it is very rare to encounter those types of liners. Here is a picture from a SSh-39 blokadnik helmet from my collection. It bears the first type liner which is quite rare.
