There is also another problem with the "Praetorian" relief from the Louvre.
It has been heavily restored. I've only ever seen the cast at the Roman Museum of Civilization in Rome so I can't say which parts. In particular, one wears a balteus OVER his musculata, which we see nowhere else, so that makes it suspicious.
