Looking at the video, is that a join line running down his ‘nose’ or a trick of the light?

Could be an unusual join on a push fit model I guess.

Probably just a trick of the light.

Looking at where the undercuts would need to be, the helmet probably has the normal marine mold line around the head over the ears, not across the face.

Back in My Day, we didn't need our Veterans to be ridiculously encrusted in superfluous ornamentation.

Genuinely - when?

Because the 2004 Veterans were plenty shiny. And there wasn't really much in the way of veterans before then.

3rd Ed BA ‘Veteran Assault Marines’ were just Assault Marines with gold helmets, a couple of special weapons taken from Tac Squads and perhaps some Term Honours bits taken from other kits or some fancy shoulder pads.

Potentially this is what GW are aping here.

They didn't even have gold helmets until 5th edition.
