imperial helmet question

i know i posted a helmet question before, but only my imperial legionary cohort units have this problem, they have helmet that dont look like the bronze helmets they should have, they have a spike on top and look a lot like spanish medium spearman mercanary helmets.is this a bug, or is it normal?

for me, my cohorts for some reason look like they're wearing bronze baseball caps backwards. My praetorian cohorts have the ear-holes, but my regular cohorts don't...the "caps" that the regular cohorts wear look weird

These guys:

I always thought the point was supposed to be there. My only complaint is that they are real shiny relative to other helmets.

Aren't those late Montefortino types?

They look fine.
The "spikes" are there on the Coolus and Montefortinos of the time:

Montefortino type late 1st BCE to early principate :

Coolus about same era:

As I posted in another thread, the helmets which are wrong are the ones for Praetorians, Antesignani and Evocati as they all wear much later Imperial models (and the pants should go as well). Some people here said the Roman units will be redone at a later date when more important things are finished.
