The wounded hoplite can have a leather cap as well of linen or Jewish Yamaka according to sekunda...
Helmet can be painted in scales... The linothoraxes in my opinion is more obious to be bronze scales, than hand free paint...
Head gear below of the thracian guys can be of Raccon in my opinion, because I have one head gear too, Fox have thick tail but not with the lines like that...

BTW: I always wondered, why if the Chalcidian with hinged cheek piece were so popular than corinthian helmet in vases greek art, why there is not evidence of those helmet today? except few in Italy?
