Nice coins. No idea what you want to say with these, though. The first is a hellenistic helmet, not a derivate of a Corinthian, the second is on the revers what exactly? A Corinthian? A Pseudo-Corinthian? Autun helmet? Hard to tell from a frontal view... But probably you are right, it has an actual face with mouth, eyes and nose, and not a stylized helmet front, like the Apulo-Corinthians have. So rather an argument FOR my idea than against it.
