I think you got a great deal for your dollars. I'm not a visor collector but they both look fine. My only question would be regarding the chinstraps being behind the cockade, was this normal practice or have they been removed and reapplied over the straps? Great score though, patience rewarded.

From what I can see the pioneer cap's bill is a replacement - presumably not even a German one.
There are period phots showing caps worn with the chinstrap behind the insignia so this did happen.
What does the leather breeches make them LW flying trousers? They seem more for a (post-war) motorcyle rider (e.g. police forces used these - I own one of these myself) - check for tags/stamps, perhaps these will help to authenticate the item. See here for LW-leather trousers: Luftwaffe 'Reichsverteidigung' jacket

New hat form, little stuffing, some tlc and the pioneer cap is looking a lot better.
