Great finds !!
The cross atop the crown was knocked crooked in the 17th century when the crown was damaged, possibly by the top of the iron chest housing the insignia being hastily closed without the crown having been placed in it properly. The cross has since been left in this slanted position, and is always depicted as such. Is that your understanding also?

Thanks.
Correct. All images of the crown before the mid-17th century show the cross in its original upright position.
