[Theodosius the Great]

Although this would be a possibility I highly doubt it was done that way (i.e. the front and back plates pointing in the same direction). Yes, that would mean a portion of the plates at the shoulders and the back would point up at the sky! That would play havoc with wearing a baldric. And it would expose the wearer to greater danger of injury in battle, IMO.
