In the military screen, under the 'e'quip screen, I can see a nice green check mark next to "metal helm". However, I noticed that the same dwarf is not actually wearing a metal helm, but a leather one, when looking at his inventory using 'v'.

You have their uniform set to 'over-clothing'. Set it to replace clothes.

They aren't always smart enough to change clothes that are too bulky to allow them to wear their armor. Especially when it comes to shaped items, since only one shaped item can be worn on a body part at a time, and both caps and helmets are shaped.

in any case, the green check marks what was available and what the dwarf has claimed from your stocks. It has nothing to do with them wearing it. You can give him 10 breastplates and if they're available they all get checked (and be unavailable for others), but he'll wear one.
