Helmets

Does anybody know what kind of helmet they are referring to in this cut out of an intelligence report that I have supplied? For some reason I thought that there was only one type.

The article seems to be referring to the 1916 pattern Stahlhelm, which was a tad heavier than the 1917 pattern. There was a third variant that I know of - the 1918 pattern, which specifically did not cover the ears in order to reduce blast damage to the ear drums.
