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.

The Luftwaffe Helmet looked more like the Limey Airborn type, kind of a steel cap., non Airborn Luftwaffe units were issued German Standard Helmets, as far as I know. Luftwaffe Airborn Units were primo, much like our own in training and fire power, probably more fire power on the German side.
