I think the idea is that the shoulder segmentata is not there and one would wear the torso rings with a scale shoulder(arm) section attached.
Interesting anyhow. THe torso the segmentata is certainly the most maintenance free part of that armour IMO.

Thanks for posting that, Erik. I had forgotten all about that one.
The hinge appears to intrude quite severely, a fairly substantial subarmalis would be required .
