Iron Man 3 mark 8\42\47 faceplate mecanism

Hello everybody! I have a bit of a quiestion. There are a few videos on Youtube that demonstrate the hinges setup for the faceplate.
I noticed that it is not as simple as mark 2-7.
Here is a picture that demonstrates the actual behavior of the parts:



As you can see, the first thing that happens is that the jaw extends for about an inch and only then the faceplate rolls up (this order is just a proposition. Both action may be performed simultaneously in the movie).
So the question is: How the hell is it possible to mimic (there is NO other way to open the helmet if it is designed 100% movie-accurate)? My thoughts are maybe using some pneumatics or hydraulics (this option is not actually an option because of size). Or maybe some axis as there is enough space for a small motor in the ear section.
The subquestion is: If the faceplate moves forward WITH the jaw and only THEN rolls up, the rolling mechanism cannot be attached to the forehead. This is also a great puzzle to me.

Any suggestions?
