Wow. I have no clue whatsoever what this might be, but it is a really fascinating thing. I am tending to film prop despite your misgivings; there are good practical reasons for wanting it to function in some sense on-set. On the other hand it could be any damned thing. Extraordinary.

Greg...does this mean that you're leaning away from the one of Von Braun's Space Division? :-)

Well, for a moment I did wonder if it was something to do with the early flights of Die Glocke, but then I remembered they used leather helmets. Lined with tinfoil. And of course with hakenkreuz.

this might help.....
Seriously, I'd like to know what it is....I THINK this photo may be fake

Well, you got me to break away from the TR forum to read this. After reading your description, I am minded to think that it is some sort of mash-up, either film prop, or some artistic type of person who got creative and maybe made it for his child. Just my opinion as I know nothing about helmets, but you did take me away from the TR forum

I’m still with a POLICE-trialled thing......

Can't understand why anybody would strap a battery pack to the side of the helmet, even for demo purposes. Any helmet that requires a power source, such as a miner's lamp for example, would have a bettery pack carried on the wearer's belt. I was wondering if the scoop/air intake device was meant to carry some sort of video/Night vision device, hence the two battery packs to power it. Again, as above, just a guess, but it might set people thinking who can find the real answer to your question.
check out the link below and look for RACAL Helmets for RNLA.
Sorry...

I don't get the non-battery battery boxes either...why run wires to them???...but a very interesting link...thank you so much for that. I'm starting to think that it may not be a Space helmet.......
