davem, who did those illustrations and what are the dates of the publications?
For comparison, here's a link to British Museum's website, with pictures and descriptions of the
King's Helm, Sutton Hoo. Apparently it was decorated with a dragon, among other items. Make sure you check out the replica, too, as well as the reconstructed helm.
The original helm was found crushed into hundreds of pieces; several reconstructions have been made. I recall being quite surprised at the small size when I saw it.
