Hi Graham!
Yes, it helps a lot!
I know mostly the facts you wrote them here (differences between the 1. cent. AD/ 3. cent. AD: types + details, like the ornaments etc..: see my link to the board flavii-forum in paralelle theme here i linked yesterday); it's my way of doing LH, too.
But if we don't have the evidence for long sleved tunic 1. cent. AD in UK - we can't say it goes or it doesn't goes: because we don't have any evidence
The fact about the many tunic&cloaks wearing-style (Vindolanda) i know, too.
Maybe it helps this suggestion:
i found evidence in pre-roman time for long sleved tunic on one Illyrian fresco: and some textile recearchers believe, that the Illyrian type of kilt = fustanella dating in european Urnfeld time was the prototype of all later style of the tunic in Europe because it is theevidence for the first european tunics. Two small figures wearing this type of kilt comes from Maribor, Slovenia - that is very close to my home.
About the Gallic-tradition textile design i worte here many times in the theme of the Falkirk tartan: the checkered-style by the Gauls and other barbarians is a myth. 1. the type of the checkered design was not so highly structurated like by the tartans 2.the weaving art was in continental tradition different 2. there are enough items for monochrome textiles used by the barbarians, too. Yes, Asterix'y style is a mith.
The figures on the Traian-columne i know, too. And my meaning about the barbarian-style used by the Romans was in the thread here in forum about the Falkirk tartan the same with your meaning here: it goes by individual items, but not in the way of the main stream as a "roman-military-dress-code" -style. It is possibile that some warriors used this type of items - but it was not a rule for all mens.
I know for myselve reenacting fact: it is a little bit harder to reconstruct the dress of the 1. cent. BC/1. cent. AD as up of the 3. cent. AD: in later time is easyer.
