The date is presumably from Robinson's The Armor of Imperial Rome (p. 55). He based it on purely stylistic criteria.
The helmet database is a highly useful tool but it is unavoidable that it contains large amounts or problematic datings or typological allocations and also many errors.
Maybe it would be helpful to add a field for user comments/feedback to the database entries so that these issues could be addressed directly in the database rather than in this thread which is viewed only by a few afficionados.
