Based on where it was found it is more likely that the suit was intended to be used in the Temple of Sobek rather than on the battlefield. If it was meant to be worn as armour then its use would be restricted to some sort of temple guard. I hate attributing any unusual item to "ceremonial" use but in this case it might actually be justified.
