I think that if you look REAL close to your left when viewing the armor.....very close to the edge where the hinge is, you can see the other hole. There is also a possible hole on top of the shoulder to your right when viewing the armor. Again, I think these are holes and would have housed the rings.
Its possible someone may think these are not holes and my eyes are deceiving me LOL.

Ave, Carlo,
Thanks for the picture, I DO see the hinge on my right as well as the hole you mentioned. To quote a well-known "Vulcan", "Fascinating".
Just in case everyone wonders why I share my RAT board interests with My Antonia (aka Jaqui, my best friend and Spouse), She has as much an interest in Roman Militaria as I do and actually took College (University to our Continental Cousins)courses in Ancient Greek and Roman History. I, sadly studied for the Ministry and History so I am self taught, vis a vis Roman History. Any way, any photos any of us can dig up will help, not just our impressions, but help our fellow Roman Fabricae types to be more accurate. BTW, Doc, I am glad I got Your meaning. When I get my Musculata built, Its going to be as accurate as it can be!!!

I have just found these pictures I have of the hinges on the cuirass I made for the late Doug' Arnold some years ago, ignore the letters A and B they were put there to show points to secure his parazonium.
Markus... I was not able to find the Muscle Cuirass' on the site you posted... will you paste a direct link to me in a private message? It would be greatly appreciated.
