Hi Paul,
For a Murmillo, you might want to change from a Pompeii type helmet to a Berlin type (terminology from Junkelmann, Das Spiel mit dem Tod), which seems to take over in the 2nd century and is distinctly different.
For other details I would advise to scrutinize as many securely dated depictions as possible, you might find some more characteristics.
