NYer, is it common for Maronite bishops to wear mitres rather than crowns as these Chaldean bishops are?

I was surprised to see the bishops wearing mitres.

Yes. Here is my bishop, Gregory John Mansour, on the day of his enthronement, in Brooklyn NY.

And here are the visiting bishops from some of the other Eastern Catholic eparchies.

I'm not sure why the Maronites and certain other EC bishops wear mitres but will look into it and post a response if I find it.
