Mike, what are those three tombstones exactly? Since I don't really know of any definite evidence, that centurions wore it on the short axis, I consider it a reenactorism, a heavy one. From a practical standpoint, for an officer in the front line, a long axis crest is much more plausible (cf. late roman helmet crests).

I know of that one tombstone with the greaves and the helmet, but then again, the helmet has its cheekplates shown at a peculiar angle as well.
