I can only refer you to his comment set out in my post of 16th May 2014 but see below.

This seems to be a closer parallel but without the skull reinforcements.  That may be Russell Robinson's point.  Without the characteristic reinforcements, it is easier to re-interpret it as an infantry helmet.  However, that was nearly 40 years ago and subsequent research may have established that by the early 3rd century the infantry was using this type of helmet or something similar.
