The sword is positioned on the right though.

.....Good point, Adrian!....though of course we don't know for certain that centurions always wore theirs on the left ( and one wonders how the custom, if it was one, arose in the first place...there must have been a reason? ), and one suspects that individual personal preference might enter into it.... so perhaps not fatal to the hypothesis, though it certainly casts doubts....

There's still something else going on in the right shoulder area that isn't either the pteruges or the baldric though.

...sorry, Adrian, not sure what you are referring to here? Could you elaborate?
