Did the Tron Tanker Helmet Inspire the Crye AirFrame?

A friend sent me this photo* and now I can’t unsee it.

Although barely seen in the 1982 movie “Tron” the tank program’s helmet is of a two-piece design, similar to the Crye Precision AirFrame.

*The image appears to originate on theRPF.com, a forum dedicated to movie prop collectors and makers. User Lindy put a lot into making this reproduction.
