You could pop into the MoL and ask them about the set found in the Mansell Street cemetery for a start. See if they've got an excavation drawing showing where the plates were found in relation to each other. The buckle plate and it's opposite number are quite clearly designed to go together (there's a gap for the buckle in the latter).
Might be worth starting a new thread asking people to post examples that they know of from cemeteries where there's useful information in terms of excavation reports/drawings.
