The corner braces don't act as collision force absorbent imo. Looking at how the braces are mounted especially distances between the mounting holes, there's not much room for force to be disbursed.
In addition, if they were designed as a mean to absorb collision impact, positioning them at those angles isn't quite logical to absorb forces from a direct frontal collision. Also, at that height, the impact forces would have been absorbed by the collision bar up front already. Not to mention, how thin these metal braces are.
IMO, they are there to increase the rigidity of the chassis.
