Ah, and doing more research it appears the second helmet is actually a police parade helmet.

Not that I'm guessing, but the luftwaffe emblem on the second helmet suggests that it is a paratrooper helmet.
Theirs were always a bit smaller.

Probably a 1942(?) style. The 1918 had an air vent and a stud to hold a steel face mask, 1936(?) eliminated the Face Mask Stud, 1942(?) eliminated the air vent. The skirt got shorter in the later editions.If you are going to collect, prewar helmets have parade paint below the war paint, glossey below the war paint, not glossey.
