I think he is on byc too. I remember reading his posts in the peacock section. His rjf are what I would consider pure. Too bad it's exceptionally difficult to get them into the U.S.
The hen looks like a much better specimen. I cannot determine if it is pure or not from just the single picture alone. As an fyi, not having combs and lappets is required of a pure specimen, but at the same time, not having a comb doesn't mean that it is pure. There are confirmed hybrids...

When you mentioned Sri lanka, I first thought you meant the Ceylon junglefowl. Anyway, your birds are nice and are good representatives of the wild bird, but they for sure are not pure. In addition to the presence of a comb on the female, the color of their legs appears too light...

If you're referring to the comb, then no, a hen shouldn't have a crest. At most, you should see a nub. Pictures would be nice if you could provide them.
