A few points to consider:
1. When the screenshots first surfaced and this thread was created, there was no word from any official source (Bungie/343i/CertainAffinity) conclusively confirming that the helmet would not at any point be availiable to the community.
2. The helmet's connections to BOBs was confirmed in the caption of a pic of the "homemade" helmet in a BWU.
3. In the next BWU, the screenshot of the "Colbert Armor" was shown, and Bungie was quick to state that the armor did not/would not exist in game.
4. The paragraph confirming the non-existence of the "Colbert Armor" made near-direct reference to the hype about new armor in the community, but did NOT debunk the rumors in the community about the BOB helmet, or any other new armor for that matter.
Why would Bungie squash one rumor and not deal with another related issue at the same time? If the BOB helmet were indeed fake and/or unobtainable, why has it not been definitively debunked and instead cryptically referenced REPEATEDLY?
Conclusion: The helmet exists, but we'll just have to wait and see what happens in the near future, probably when 343i takes the reigns officially.
Too bad, Colbert armor was something that I would actually pay good money for.
