Anime-MX has released a DVD rip. I'm in queue to download it now. I will let you know when I've seen it.

EDIT: Okay, I've seen it now. At least on the DVD source that Anime-MX used the helmet is still in the picture in episode 49. Also it is dual audio so it would be a more recent release of the episode.

EDIT2: I'll do more later, but I just want to add that personally I think that Neo is the exact same as Mia Campbell.
