I still can't get my head around this idea where you say that one plate is 20-1/2" and the other is 18-3/4" in length, the two plates for the waist as with all other opposite plates of a girdle should be equal in length.
The fasteners are placed so that one is near the edge of a plate and the other fastener is set away from the edge to whatever you want the overlap to be. Then when both plates are put together and tied you have the overlap equal at both front and rear of the armour.
The edges of the fasteners that are going to touch when the plates go together should be at your waist size plus 1 inch and so forth all the way up to the chest.
The segmetata looks the same at both front and back and the only thing that shows which is the front or rear is the hook arrangements if a B type, ie two hooks per top plate for the back and one hook per top plate for the front.
