EDIT: I saw your edit after I wrote this ... but I think it's a weird/interesting enough quirk of classic EQ that I'm leaving my post in.

I thought Crustacean Shell Armor had Velious plate look except the helm. Is that not correct? Sorry, been a while since I've seen it.

According to the wiki, most of that armor
is "Velious Plate 2". But also, according to the wiki, the helm in that set is just "Plate".
Most likely Verant just did that for the usual (ie. who knows?) Verant reasons. It's
possible that the wiki's wrong, but all of the wiki values came from Allakhazam's Lucy database (I wrote a script that stole all the data from there). In general that database is very accurate, and I just double-checked:
their entry for the helmet says just "Plate".
So unless Verant or SOE changed the item's appearance after Velious (unlikely but possible) or Lucy is wrong (again, unlikely but possible) the wiki is probably correct. For whatever reason, Verant did not want Bards to get that particular look from this armor set.
