This is a very nice looking helmet, but has anybody ever seen chinscales configured like this?

No, never seen the first scales attached in this sort of "folded" way.

INTERESTING, NEVER SEEN THAT BEFORE...

I've never seen a chinstrap like that before.

Never seen.

I suspect that the side rivet prongs were too short and along the way the side bosses were hammered flat so that they would work.

That is a new one on me as well....never seen. The short prong explanation could be correct but that's a pretty drastic solution. Nice helmet though.
