Kylie Minogue video uses some interesting 1980s sci-fi costume pieces

Anyone notice what those silver helmets used to be? Some used to be black and some black and gold.

I was looking for a video for my girlfriend to show it to her and I saw this one and the moment that I saw those dancers I knew what the helmets were. I used to love these helmets in the tv series V and I have never seen a helmet similar to it until this video. I wonder if they were originals that were in a prop house or something. I wonder if they were molded for the video or just redressed for it.
I posted it because it isn't often that you see vintage props reused for a completely unrelated project.

Looks like the face plate of the V shocktrooper stuck on a Mk1 helmet liner or similar.

I've also seen pics of her dancers wearing Cyberman voice changer helmets backwards on a recent tour.
