No,this cuirass is owned by Athanasios Porporis,leader of the Australian group "Ancien Hoplitikon of Melbourne". It was made to his measurements,as it can also be seen if you compare it with frontal photos of the ancient cuirass.
His comments about how it wears is that it can be comfortably worn for many hours ndespite its weight (can't remember how much),and that in his opinion it wasn't meant to be a cavalry cuirass. It makes sence since it was found with greaves and a hoplite shield.
