In "Archaeology of Weapons" Oakeshott writes that the term barbute is 15thc. but there is no evidence it was applied to the T-faced Corinthian style helmets. So maybe the Italians did call a bascinet a barbute. I don't know.
Thanks for the link with the helm measurements. 8 1/4" by 9 13/16" is bigger then I thought for bascinets.

I think those measurements might have been taken from the bottom flared edge of the helmet.
