Yes, I've across quite a few papers like that!
Unfortunately there's not much more we can say about VI Parthica, which seems to have had little impact on history... However, the appearance of the caduceus (if that's what it is) is quite interesting - one of the very few survivals of overtly pagan imagery on the shield designs of the late 4th-5th century (the only other one, I think, being the classic 'winged victory' that appears a couple of times).
