FYI: With 8-hole lamellae, you would either need to bend the plates around the shoulder, or to leave the vertical weave loose so that the plates could articulate around the shoulder. It looks like the Amanthus lamellae would also need bending due to the overlap. The lacing pattern and hole config looks similar to the Old Nisa / Toglok Tappeh lamellae, which don't have quite as much overlap and so wouldn't need bending over the shoulder (although I didn't make my set with that lacing pattern - I am tempted to re-do it, as it looks prettier and also perhaps more stable!)
Having said that, I'm with Edouard as well, although I would perhaps use plates from a different find, albeit of a related type and probably assembled in a similar manner.
