Actually the Der El Medineh and Leiden helmets were badly dated, first beeing found in a pit and the other beeing a stolen piece. So common theory is that they are late 3rd/early 4th century helmets, but some specialists such as Damien Glad (archeologist, author of a soon to be published new classification of helmets in the east of the Roman empire and also member of the Herculiani) have opted for a late Vth/early VIth century date.
