Niedermormter helmet query

[Dave G]

I was studying the bronze Italic H 01 helmet from the photographs in the helmet database and have noticed the decorative plaques on the neckguard and the browband( not the noted inscription on the peak reinforcement but the helmet itself) all have some form of engraved decoration on them, the central plaque with the handle has two standards on it as far as I can see.
Is there a record of what these decorations are or archeological drawings recording them anywhere? , it seems therefore very ornate for a normal legionarys helmet, has anyone done any research on this?
