Hello Markus,
I totally agree that mirror finished that we normally see on helmets is most likely not correct. But I think a uniform and natural sheen of the metal was more likely.
The way I look at it....lets not discount that the helmet such as you posted, may have not been completed or was hastily put together and worn.
Both the Italic and Gallic D have the same feature........both their left cheek piece were replacements. So it appears they were not too concerned with perfection all the time rather with function.
My two cents
