Thank you vrey much indeed I find your explanation very interesting, as you can see from my first post I did jump in with both feet in my consideration of what type of helmet it was.
However that was from the point of view of the first picture that was shown of only the left half of the helmet, the angle of the picture and forward edge of the helmet did not compute with the drwing shown beneath it.
It was only when Mike Bishop put forward the shot of the right side (with what he showed as a hinge and better angle shot) that I found it to be similar in style to the Xanten cavalry piece.
