Now I see what you mean. But those pics are of pieces of "Berlin" style helmets, the late development of the "Pompeii" type, i.e. crested and with a continuous brim, as seen in the first picture on this thread. The true bell helmet apparently never had a crest and usually lackedthe continuous brim, instead featuring a separate peak, or no peak at all, and a separate neckguard.
Pecunia non olet
