Could be a photobucket thing (they always have some issue or other, but they're still a better option than Picassa, in my mind). It's updated on my end, though.

Good point. And in this case, I think Wikipedia's info is accurate. Some quick digging for images from the US' invasion of Grenada turned up this image:

The MP in the center of the picture is wearing an M1 helmet, but the female soldier behind him and the glasses-wearing soldier to his left (your right) appear to be wearing PASGTs. I might have to reconsider the choice of the M1, although from what I can tell, M1's were still the dominant headgear worn in combat up until 1983 (check out these pics from 1983 operations in Grenada and Lebanon):
