Pouches on his vest indicate that he is a MG operator. He might be the only gunner in his unit. If I'm not mistaken, these full face armors are usually prefered and worn by gunners for obvious reasons.

As he is "only" an uzman çavus, I doubt it's one of these "the high ranking guys get the fancy stuff" kind of thing.

Might as well be just show for the cameras and they got only this one for now, who knows? Or a logistical failure. Still see PÖH running around without helmets. Not sure if it's a matter of preference tho.

But I honestly don't see what good it would bring to equip several people with this anyway. Bulletproof vests would probably safe more lifes.

It's likely a pouch full of 40mm..
 
It means that rather than just splurging on bare opscore helmets our guys also splurged on additional stuff. We also saw face/cheek plates with SF coming up, don't have the pictures saved myself.

It is also part photo-op.

I also saw opscore with army mountain commando... maybe commando's next? :)

They already got these add ons for at least one year.

As for the mountain commando, I guess you mean this one?

Pretty certain this is the case where the high ranking guy gets the good stuff. Have already seen some higher ranking commandos with ops-cores in 2015. Highly doubt the regular guys will get any, unless commanders order them specifically for their unit.

Speaking of splurging on additional stuff

They also got SLAAP plates.

I'm wondering what king of protection these helmets offer. They look pretty thin.
