Looks too me like a miners safety helmet, The lamp attaches too the top loop. The artillery disc cannons are upside down, the white bar looks newly added. Fantasy  piece in my opinion. Not military... 

the 5 on the bottom looks like a European version of the number 5

I’d agree with above, not a military piece.

 

Notice how the area under the LT bar was cleaned before the bar was added? Not a good sign

It reminds me of an European miners helmet of the 20th Century. Made of hard fiber. The white shapes might be mine specific markings and the pin some-one just placed on there. I would see similar helmets at the Tongeren (Belgium)  flea market years ago. It may be un-common as I have not seen another example exactly like these. Interesting construction style.
