Bolded the quoted note for emphasis:

Velious racial plate helm quests have been added that will allow you to 'trade in' your existing helms for ones with textures. We have decided to allow the players (or their characters) to chose whether they wish to have the new helmet textures or to continue to use helmets that show no graphics.

In regards to helmets blocking vision, classssssic until 6/27/2001!

Helms on Barbarians, Trolls, and Ogres should no longer block the first person view when in combat.

Interesting enough, it seems like some of the custom helms we have shouldn't have been implemented until later in velious timeline (8/15/2001)?

Added a few crowns to the list of items that can be traded in for new crowns with new textures. The same NPCs that were interested in trading out your helms will now trade your crowns. Please keep in mind that they will not be trading them back to you. Once you get the new look it's yours to keep, even if it clashes with your favorite eye shadow.

I admittedly don't know which these are, but I would guess it is the helms off Dain / Tormax / Yeli / Zlandicar. Maybe helm of the tracker? Not sure if that is customizable.
