As far as we know all the Dragon Priests with masks in Skyrim were High Priests. There are other, 'normal' priests we see in Skyrim who don't have a mask. So I guess that Vahlok was one of the normal priests who still fought against Miraak. Like you said they are GIFTS from dragons...so lets say you were all powerful and you gave some weakling lesser being only good enough to serve as a slave. so you give them a gift of extreme power....would u want to go about making another one cause he "lost" it or  "broke"  it. and Vahlok being loyal as he was and extremely powerful there is no way in hell he is a lesser priest. In my honest opinion if there is a broken mask it could be his but also the backstory on the gold mask ( forgot the name of it but you get it from collecting all the masks in skyrim.. well i believe that was his mask at one point and he hid it away or something...remember the island USED to be part of skyrim...
