Jim, I can't see how you can say the helmets on TT are Gallic G. They are so poorly defined that they could be anything from Italic to Gallic with expanded cross bracing. I would be very reluctant to draw any conclusions regarding the detail of the equipment shown on TT as it is so generally cast.
With regard to auxiliaries using curved scuta and pila, well why not? I think it's highly unlikely that there was discrimination down to the level of what weapons were uniformly used by legionaries and auxiliaries.
