you are correct. They used several kits on it. i just found the upper left hand part on the back of the helmet. it was one piece out of a 1/72 scale RAF refueling truck model kit. i have been scouring model kit scans trying to tract parts down. they cut and assembled different parts so some are very hard to ID. they used alot of the space 1999 hawk kit and the 74 mclaren m 23 1/12th scale. those two kits cover about 70% of the greebs. then it seems they just grabbed random parts from kits from a pile of kits. hence the RAF truck part and maybe some of the wheels were used.

The grill on the helmet would most probably be a metal filter probably automotive, the link below are for pipe filters

The long tube looks like a model kit sprue

The flat pieces of the back pack look like figure stands/bases the old style ones before they added slits and pegs
