Depends on Helmet type I think, but for HEER & SS, type M 35-42, I would say a 68 shell with a 60 liner.
I stand and am willing to be corrected by my betters.

You will need a size 68 shell.

Shell sizes on originals as follows

Size 60 shell= 52/53 head size
Size 62 shell= 54/55 head size
size 64 shell=56/57 head size
size 66 shell=58/59 head size
size 68 shell=60/61 head size
size 70 shell=62/63 head size (rare)
