Problem Lining Up Reference Images in Photoshop

I am attempting to model a helmet for Boba Fett but before I start I am preparing my reference images for maya. I found some good images of the helmet online and decided to save and use them. The images weren't very well aligned and I had to spend some time in Photoshop adjusting them. I have a problem, however. The two side views are slightly off on the top and bottom but the rest of the helmet is lined up in the visor etc. This is probably a bad explanation so please check the screenshots.

What is most likely the case, is that those images were rendered with a perspective camera, therefore there will be some distortion. You can try to correct it as described here: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/us...ion-noise.html

Imagination is more important than knowledge.
