I think that what he's saying is the ridge helmets are going out of fashion by the late 5th century and being replaced by Spangenhelms, but to be honest I find him difficult to follow.
The latest helmet with the Deir-el-Medineh cheek pieces, is I think the Sutton Hoo helmet of the late 6th or early 7th century(depending on the age of the helmet before burial), but they are a reduced version and it has more in common with late roman ridge helmets then it does with Spangenhelms, though there only really seems to be a distant connection.
Otherwise I think Deir-el-Medineh may well be the end of the line or a transitional design.... ?

"And the four bare walls stand on the seashore. a wreck a skeleton a monument of that instability and vicissitude to which all things human are subject. Not a dwelling within sight, and the farm labourer, and curious traveller, are the only persons that ever visit the scene where once so many thousands were congregated." T.Lewin 1867
