I'm not gonna say you're wrong, because i don't know enough about the subject to say so. But aren't those just spangenhelms? Your claim would definitely be true for the fancy ridge helmets (Since their design denoted rank and they were so fancy they were also payment) or the 90% aventail varangian designs. It might even be true here, I don't know when the ostrogoths started making their own helmets, but at some point they definitely did.
