I would rather say the helmet belongs to the large and somewhat heterogenous group of the "Attischer Typ mit Stirnschirm" (Attic helmet with visor).
In the English terminology they are sometimes called "Thracian" .
Usually the known examples have also a "Stirngiebel" with volutes on the sides. On the Pyrrhus-helmet this might have been omitted because of the crest.
Some examples to compare:
