Ave!
As I see you are more familiar with the mosaics/pictures/statues then I am. But I do believe that none of the gladiators who had bigger ocrea than the legionary style (e.g. Thracian, Secutor) wore cingulum. If they would the cingulum would slip under the ocrea and at the next step the fighter would not be able to move forward.
It just does not work. I tried :roll: and I felt. :lol:
Some others could use it if they had no ocrea (e.g. retiarius) but it is just theoretical.
