oh thats a difficult one cheng...
it does remind me of the helmets used by cromwells forces during the english civil war in the 17th century... so i would place those helmets somewhere in that time... id say english or spanish perhaps ;)

It doesn't look European to me (don't know why - just doesn't).

I'll say Japanese footsoldiers.
