Yes - you just need to make sure you drill through a relatively flat area of the plastic ear-cup shell to take the CEP connector, because if you try fitting it to an area with a pronounced curve to the section it can be more difficult to attach the securing nut to the thread of the connector.

The Peltor examples I've seen come fitted with snap-connectors to take the stock HGU-55 bungee visors, which are fairly easy and cheap to obtain. The CEP would be easier to fit at the stage they put the comms wiring into the helmet, so might be an idea to see if they could fit it for you.
