More Amer. style than German. Picture of lining would help. The skull doesn't make it German as the U.S. & other countries used it.
That is an American helmet liner. Common in the 1960's and 1970's.
I haven't had an Amer. helmet in many yrs., but I don't remember the rivet pattern to be like this.
When you take into consideration that the M1 Helmet with liner, (and this is the liner) was used throughout WWII, Korean War, Vietnam War and still used for several more years after that, then it is easy to see, there were several versions, created by several manufacturers.
