Lorica Segmentata and Auxilia Troops

well I would suppose there are possibilities, like why are legio stamps found in auxilia forts? Some legionary might have lost bits from armor  when delivering the bricks?

I don't think that segmentata was exclusive to legions, probably everyone used the best available armor, the base for the believe that only legions wore seggies would be the Columna Traiana but probably in CT they only looked for ways (conventions) to depict differences between auxilia and legionary soldiers.
