The image you show is indeed an very good parallel for the October crown.
However I do wonder about whether these are accurate depictions of the actual crowns they wore. The Innsbruck statues were made in the 1520's, so 30 and 90 years after their respective deaths. Therefore the artists who made them did not attend their coronations. Other portraits show these emperors with rather different crowns. Orb and cross on top, yes, but the "staircase pattern on the triangles" as JKP calls it, I haven't seen in other portraits of them, or in images of actual crowns.
In saying this I am not denying the ressemblance, which is plain to see.
I would be very interested in understanding the origin of the crowns in the Innsbruck sculptures.
