I'm inclined to agree with you. That if centurions wore chest hooks then I think they would have been depicted on the stele. As the roman's tended to put lot of detail in there sculptures (Example: Trajan's Column).
Therefore I believe I need a lorica hamata with no chest hooks and a rounded bottom. Questions though...Is there a big difference in wearing an hamata without chest hooks compared to wearing one with them? How much difference do they make in the way the hamate fits and feels when wearing it? And are there any advantages as to having them or not?
