M1867 Prussian Artillery

Thoughts on this one anybody? I realise that with helmets of this age you often have to accept repairs, conversions, etc. Even so, I am not wild about the two extra pairs of holes - what could they have been for? And what is that extra split pin under the plate?!

It looks to me like a total rebuild on top of a perfectly good M1867 body. What do the experienced collectors think?

The ball neck should bear a Perlring. The ball clearly does not belong to this helmet. Inside plate missing. Torn liner... A disaster.
