It's the bit about them looking like the corselets that gives me pause, but, for what it's worth, Junkelmann in "Reiter wie Statuen aus Erz" dressed his re-enactment "hippika gymnasia" display riders in embroidered Persian style wrap-around tunics and trousers in the style that Mithras wears on "tauroctonies". On top of that they wore linen cuirasses like the one on the Alexander mosaic from Pompeii.
