You may be right,Paul.However, even some very early crude corinthians were made of two pieces but the custom did not continue.Here i found some photos of corinthians with ridges and a negau that seems to has the same design to some extend.I find that the original purpose was to protect the joint(even if not seen in other early greek helmets) but this vast continuation into classical times,and the fact that the ridges seem to follow exactly the shape of the crest,makes me believe it had some function concerning the crest,too.
