Well your photos are really not good enough to convince. It is a bit easy to make a claim and don’t put effort in presenting it seriously. These are rare helmets so they need to be scrutinzed well.

Or playing the devil's advocate it was the best place to paint it post war :-) There are many reasons to doubt authenticity as it is a rare decal and secondly not many are authorities on the subject which makes it easy to create fakes. Is there a sign of a decal on the other side ?
The additional photos don't help much , way too fuzzy.
There is a photo from the previous owner of the helmet. I cleaned the surface of the rusty layers (the decal is inviolable!). There were remnants of "winter camouflage" on the helmet, perhaps it was this that "saved" the decal.
I think it is going to be extremely difficult for anyone to give you a firm answer. That is a biggest issue with many relics. Near impossible to confirm one way of the other without an in hand inspection.
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
