Your identification with 7th century equipment is right,but this time I'm using it for litlle earlier period in the 6th.I believe such helmet coverings,like those from David plates,were probably already in use by the romans even earlier and findings like silver dish depicting Achilles and Briscis in Hermitage museum and so-called cathedra of Maximian seems to confirm it from around 550 at least.
