The correct headwear for this kit is either 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.
