So it turns out our library only stocks 1990 onwards of that journal.
Back on topic - I'll use the Kasr-e-Abu Nasr lamellae for a cuirass. Does anyone know where I can find the full details of the lamellae?
I know they have been briefly described in "A Sassanian Chieftain's helmet," but this doesn't give details of how much of the body it covered (if this is known) - whether it was just a cuirass for the torso, or whether it extended onto the arms and thighs like later Soghdian / Khorasani armour.
The following plate is too late for Sassanian (probably), it shows the full coat with an opening down the front.
