Forum:KB:Imperial Laat/i pilot

Is there any canon source that shows or states how early imp LAAT/i gunship pilots were uniformed? Clone Wars era shows pilots always with life support rebreathers and what not. I'm thinking the Imperial V-Wing pilot from hasbro looks the part. But then why do V-Wing pilots have the open faced helmet, when V-wings have no life support or pressurised cockpit, like the TIE series?
