If you go here to a page on them

http://www.ww2-airborne.us/units/327/327.html

You can see that this pic has the square as well on the side as the helmet


The clover is in the wrong place on the helmet.. In the pictures on the site you linked the clover, heart, spade, etc are on the side but the auction helmet has the clover on the rear and it looks sloppy unlike the ones in the photos of the auction one.. Very hard to tell about the bails with the liner in the way, but they look like swivel bail to me and WWII helmets were fixed bail
