Yes, even I have the same doubt. Yesterday will be only one and there is no need to mention as 'this yesterday'.
Can you please tell the answer so that I would correct myself.

"I will have helped" future tense and the first part of the sentence is past so we must maintain the tense of whole sentense.

In the first sentence, "had" indicates past perfect tense and "would" in the second part indicates future perfect tense but both the actions were happened in past. So to make the second part of the sentence we have to use "would" instead "will".

This is the 3rd type of conditional sentences:
Had+v3 ______ Would+have+v3.
Had+v3 ______ Would+have+v3.

As the first sentence is past perfecttense so the second sentence should maintain pastense.

Would is right because it is a futuristic sentence but its meaning is changed because of yesterday, "will" can use for only the next step future.
