Yeah, that's how it looks to me aswell.
OK, I give up
. The second texture is OK (let's assume this 3/4 armor is kinda fancy), even though I've never seen this kind of stuff (well, I'm by no means good in 16th century armor and weapons anyways), the first, however, isn't. This kind of "reinforcement" with fancy embellishment makes little to no sense for the cheap version of the cuirass. And, I repeat, I've never seen anything like this before.
