Judging from the history of the Real life Samurai, I think it would be more accurate for the Samurai class to be able to wear an iron helmet, in addition to the current armor.
The reason being that a Real life Samurai's armor was strong metal boots, layered leather, and a heavy metal helm. The layered leather was made in such a way that most fighters of the time would agree that the layered leather was strong enough to be better than normal leather tunics, while yet still light enough that it isn't a heavy burden like most metal armor of the time. That is why it is very accurate for the Samurai class to wear chain body and legs and iron boots.
However the iron helm would be more accurate historically than just a chain helm. This is because the Samurai's Helm in real life was extremely heavy considering the lighter layered leather they wore. These helms were made of hard metal and not layered leather. This helm was also used as an intimidation weapon, The Helms would have a scary mask of a man strung around to cover the face.
That is why I think the Samurai class should be able to wear an iron helmet in addition to its current armor.
