I wonder if isn’t it closer to what the dragon-helm of Dor-lómin was supposed to look like? 

  I’ve seen some nice arts by Alan Lee (and others of similar style), however, are they really that close to a description of dwarf-helmet which were noted for their grim masks? (where does such idea of depiction of this helmet come from?)

Given Tolkien’s interests, I guess it’s somewhat likely that the inspiration for the dragon-helm were some Vendel-age “crested helmets” (featuring “dragon-crests” as well as fitting the description of dwarvish“masked” helmets)
