In the STRATEGIMATA 30 mnae weight is mentioned so the propabilities are in favor of artillery.
There is a tendency to depict close order infantry almost unarmored in the late 4th early 3rd century. It is a generalization. Weapons were handed down through successive generations and those who could afford to arm themselves did so. No one could rule out the Corinthnian or "Illyric" helmet to appear alongside newer types although in very small numbers.
Kind regards
