It looks like some sort of a bicycle helmet. Sincerely. BruceV.

I do not know. The best I can find in Leslie's book on the SAW is a summer pith helmet worn only by privates and NCO'S. Looks like a salad bowl.
I copied these images in high resolution so they can be copied and magnified.

If these be Rough Riders then the guns shown were purchased and donated to them by(No. 1) Trooper William Tiffany's family.

I di not check the names against the Rough Rider list in the book. You could be right as I know nothing about that trooper.
The "Salad Bowl"guy is a sargent.
