Communist Soviet headgear

[Alex K]

Hi all, I have over a number years collected at random. headgear, I got this one quite a few years ago. It obviously soviet and I was led to believe a tank regiment but I could be wrong. It has been worn, so the label is unreadable except for what looks like the date 1970.It also has a needle and thread secured in the sweatband, presumably as an emergency repair kit.

Could anyone identify it more precisely?

regards

It looks like a regular Internal Troops MVD cap. I think that Armor has a black body band.
