Sorry for the delay.....but I am a teacher with a wife 2 kids, a dog, orchids, a Macaw, tropical fish, collect pointy hats and I play guitar in a rock band so time can be precious . Finally here are the scanned pics I mentioned. They are not that clear but in the book, you can see that the individual in question is wearing an M95 Bavarian helmet with tin support on the outside of the shell held in place by the split brads.
Along with everyone else, I do not see any practical use for having the support disc on the outside of the helmet under the spike. I do believe however, that this sort of thing(see pic) and the solderd spike base that I posted previously support Randy Trawniks' comment about the Germans finding ways of lowering their helmet profile prior to the issuing of the M15 helmets.
