Was the riveted sample a copy of a extant museum sample or was it just a commercially supplied Indian import? The latter won't tell us anything useful about Roman mail.

Butcher's mail is not relevant. The point of that product is to stop knife cuts. The Romans largely faced spears and arrows. Butted mail is expensive and cumbersome and completely useless against these threats. Why would the Romans bother with this when the padding alone provides similar protection?
