Gook luck. I'll be interested in what you find.
You know, that's not a picture of me in my avatar. How do you know what my headshape really is, beyond some brief encounters?
Seems to me that we had a 5-10 (15?) minute conversation at Morton's during their open house. My recollection is that you weren't wearing a hat and that your head (face?) shape is what could be described as "elongated". Arai helmets, particularly the Quantum line were designed with that shape in mind (and as I noted, that design may have changed, so it's best to ask the dealer).
Years ago, a friend of mine--with a head shape not unlike yours went from a Bell Helmet (when they were made in the USA) to an Arai Quantum--on my recommendation--and found helmet-fitment nirvana.
That's why I suggested it to you. But if you want, I can also say something like "well I don't know what shape head you have, but if your face/head is kind of tall and narrow, top to bottom, as opposed to, round (side to side), you might want to try an Arai Quantum, as that line of helmets seems particularly well suited to the cranial shape of tall and narrow."
My head shape is more "round" and I can wear helmets made by Arai (the aforementioned Quantum) and Shoei (X11, X12, Quest, and probably the new Neotec--but I'm not a modular fan), but not HJC or Scorpion. From the little I've worn it, it also appears that I may be able to wear a Schuberth too. Bottom line, I can wear the high-priced spread, but not the middle!
