While a lot of the details on the Ludovisi sarcophagus are stylized, this is fairly reliable detail.
We see the mixed musculata/squamata type from the late 2nd C. onward.
You can see it on the sarcophagus of Balbinus and many other sources.
Here's a previous thread on this subject with lots of images:

I have seen the Ludovisi sarcophagus many times in person and I have quite a few images. If you have any specific questions, just let me know.
