Hello Alex,
How is the brow band attached on this helmet? Is it soldered on? If so, I concur with the reconstruction. The original does not appear to have any holes to hold it in place although as you mentioned in the beginning of your post the restorations have probably covered the holes for everything. Is there evidence of the holes that have loops to tie the crest or these too have been covered with restorations. I agree however, that all the features of the reconstruction are accurate when considering other Gallic helmets.
Alexander I sent you a PM about the Gallic C helmet.
