Subject: 15mm Viet Nam Gaming - Question on Headgear of VC Local Forces

I've typically seen two different types of headgear for VC local forces:
*Pith Helmet - painted light green or tan
*Rice Grass Hat (traditional pointed, with long rim) - painted tan
I've acquired some Viet Minh miniatures that I think will work well for VC local forces, but they have a different style helmet then listed above. Not sure how to describe it, but I found this picture here:
Any idea what kind of helmet this is? Should it always be painted black, like in this picture?
Thanks,
Mez

It's a Pith helmet with a black overall material.
