I think that was the function,too.Tge ridges exist in some corinthian helmets,too.In late corinthians,the top of the helmet was somewhat pointed and this kept the crest box in place.The edge of the crown went into the crest box.In Illyrian and earlier corinthian helmets this edge does not exist and the top of the crown is rounded,so the redges might have helped to stabilise the crest.
