I thought I ought to report back with some findings of my research.
I recently examined photographs of the rock reliefs at Naqsh-e-Rostam that were e-mailed to me by my friend in Iran. They clearly show a two-piece manica - a rerebrace and a vambrace. One of the knights has an overlap of the two pieces at the elbow, the other does not.
This would make it all much easier!
Is there any evidence either way stating whether or not such a construction would also be found in eg: Indo-Saka and Kushan armour?
