Leather decoration on helmets?!
#5
I favour 2.)
I think it is rather likely for thr Praetorians, who were especially "fancy" to show their wealth through their gear. So, if the Legionaries had metal attachments with fine and nice deatil, it might well be the case that the pretorians were trying to look even better. Leather is probably not the right medium to do so, rather silver or even gold.
Just my 2 cents...
