The scale size doesn't tell us that it is horse armour. The Karanis scales are the same size as Tut's scales. What leads me to suspect that it is horse armour is the large curvature around the top; it is consistent with a horse's neck, not a human neck. But it might just be the way that it has been laid out on display.
