Helmet and shield appearance w/ BG1 Tutu

I've been playing BG1 Tutu. It always bothered me that the inventory icons didn't match what the paperdoll shows:

This is fixed with 1PP, which is awesome:

But I'm confused about something. During the install, I carefully studied the readme before choosing these options:

 

SETTING 1: SHIELD APPEARANCE

2. Baldur's Gate I style

 

SETTING 2: HELMET APPEARANCE

2. Faux Baldur's Gate I style (use BG1 icons but not animations)

 

SETTING 3: ARMOUR ITEM ICONS

2. Baldur's Gate I style

 

Question 1: Why isn't there a BG1 style option for helmet appearance? I chose faux BG1 style because it sounds the closest to what I want (fixed vanilla) but the way it's worded is confusing. What exactly does it mean?

 

Later during the install, I was asked if I wanted these settings to apply to Tutu/BG1 with a warning that it would replace Tutu's default shields. But I find this confusing as well. Which brings me to question 2: Does it mean it will replace the BG1 icons or the BG2 paperdolls? Both are used by Tutu. I want to replace the BG2 paperdolls to match the BG1 icons, and get as close as I can to "fixed" vanilla, so do I answer yes or no?

 

I answered no because that was marked as default, and combined with the warning above it sounded like the safest option. Question 3: Why did the icons and paperdolls on the inventory screen change at all if I answered no? (See second screenshot.)

 

At this point, I know I have some of the BG1 paperdolls back, but some of them I think are original content included in 1PP. Similarly, some of the icons are from BG1 but some (like the helmet) look like they are new content in 1PP. So I seem to be using some crazy mixture of assets, and I'm not sure which is which. Can anyone clarify?
