I don't have photoshop on my tablet so not sure how big this screen grab is from the book "Armies of Bactria" but here is a drawing of the fragments for the heavy horseman from the book. Most of the other fragments are assorted horse gear and saddles. I have just read an old paper CRENELATED MANE AND SCABBARD SLIDE by Otto Maenchen-Helfen where he thinks that the Yueh-chi or Tokharians may have invented the scabbard-slide and passed it on to their various neighbours. So the images although reconstructions are interesting.
