I see the similarity now. My guess is that crown appears on the head of whoever is able to use the elements of harmony. Or perhaps it's a popular style of crown. Or maybe the animators decided to reuse that design.

There isn't any evidence that Celestia and Luna were originally in some kind of "enlightened" state, whatever that may mean. I don't think we can take the book illustrations as a 100% accurate portrayal of the characters. There is no mention of witnesses to Celestia banishing Luna, so the drawing demonstrating that act came purely from the imagination of the book writer.
