I'll give you the Villa Armerina one, that does look like a wide belt.
The second one doesn't look like a wide belt to me, but then I don't think it's mail either. Just a tunic.
Third one doesn't look like the sort of wide belt we're discussing.
Fourth one is interesting. As you say, looks earlier but does look like it's got propeller stiffeners.
Alright....the vast majority of depictions of things that are definately 4th century wide belt sets are shown being worn over tunics.
This one looks like he might have a baldric on his belt.
