Actually, the cap on the eBay link you posted is for the "afganka" uniform which was used from mid-80s, first in Afghanistan and later in USSR.

The correct headwear for this kit is either a pilotka , a "panama" (used by the border guards and ground troops in Middle-Asia Military District) or a SSh-68 steel helmet.

There should also be shoulder boards and appropriate collar insignia on the tunic, as well as white "under-collar" on the inside part of the tunic's collar where it touches the neck.
