Interesting material. If indeed members of the equestrian order/class were appointed to be centurions (rather how young patrichians worked as Tribunes for the sake of military experience), then this seems to be rather the same way most officers in the U.S. Army start as lieutenants and work there way up--officers from the start.

On a related question, would a highly experienced optio eventually be promoted to centurio, or was it not quite so ladder-structured?
