Kurassier Metalhelme M1915

Hello all,
I can't believe how expensive this hobby is becoming...
I'm pretty sure many of you have already seen this one.
In addition to the high price it'll surely reach, I'm not comfortable with the liner. I see 10 tongues all right but 2-3 are overlapping. And what about the nuts retaining the spike bolts? Shouldn't these have rounded corners?

What do you think?
 
To my knowledge, and unlike their JZP counterparts, there are no steps on front Kurassier M15 visors.
What I actually don't like is (1) the liner and its overlapping tongues + (2) that rear lobster tail which seems to curl backwards a bit more than the 'usual' + (3) if you look at the front picture, it seems the M91 posts aren't aligned (the Prussian side is higher than the National side) + (4) the post with the National/Reichs Cockade seems different than the usual...

I'm trying to compare with other Lachmann Kurassier pics like Tony's on Kaiser's Bunker and so far these are the 4 'anomalies' I could discern...

Guys, help! :-k
