Ha, is the author of the article still in elementary school? I know a number of 5th-graders who could come up with better identifications! Wacky.

I still don't trust 2 and 3 (even if they AREN'T 1st century BC Italic!). Turns out the WWII helmet I was thinking of looks a lot different, and it's German, not Russian:

But I have a feeling 2 and 3 have a similar story. I'll have to dig out the other ones I've seen and put them all together for comparison.

Chalcidean, eh? Learn something new every day...
