Ian not an expert on Spanish stuff but......Those helmets were sold as surplus many years ago. They are Francoist period probably used until the mid to late 70s. Sometimes they were passed off as Italian Tanker helmets. Not Civil War at all , in my opinion . They usually sell for 20 to 40 bucks in the USA . The cartridge box , if that what it is also post civil war probably from 40s to 50s but also could be until Franco's demise or a few years latter when Spain stop using that crest .


One more thing . I believe the helmets were used by Spanish motorcyclists( not sure if army or police) as the Cabinieri continued to use the "style " in Italy after the war.
