Vale's Armour

Is it just me or does anybody else feel that Vale’s armour design & colours are a nod to Daisy-032 from Homecoming? I mean the colour scheme is one thing but it also seems to me that Copperhead armour is influenced by/based on/a nod to the original CQB helm. Its roundness, the almost kinda T-shaped visor, to the little things sticking out on the sides in between the ears & jaw line all scream CQB to me. What do you guys think? Am I grasping at straws & its just about having interesting armour or is it deliberate?
