That looks like my topfhelm I use for my late 12th early 13th century kit. It did need a LOT of padding plus a coif to fit my rather large size head properly. My head is close to 23 inches maybe even 24 so most "medium" size helms dont fit me.

Top one has a slightly domed top, bottom one is flat.

Top one has two rivets between the "quarter sections" of the top of the helmet; bottom one has 3.

I feel like there should be 4 more differences, but I can't find them. :)
