Points to note:
* The 40th helmet is stamped "Hasbro ®" on the inside, under a large slice of grey foam.
* The 40th helmet has two circles inside where the vintage one does not (at least in the example I have)
* The 40th Armoured Car Commander set was a "First Wave" release so they do have the "Action Man" label in the jacket.
* The zip on the 40th jacket is not marked "YKK".
* The ammo box is also stamped "Hasbro ®" on the inside of the lid
* The underside of the 40th machine gun tripod is stamped "Hasbro ®"
* The 40th 45cal tripod has circles on the underside of the two rear feet, and the circle on the underside of the front foot is larger than on the vintage tripod
The radio and tripod legs
Vintage have 3 mould marks on the top section and has a sharper edge. 40th are smoother with no mould marks. both vintage and 40th radios are stamped hasbro
