Can't recall whether this image was shown before, but the excellent website of the Munich State Library has a digital document containing not just the Notitia Dignitatum (different colours than the usual one used from the Bodleien Library), but also the pages of De Rebus Bellicis, which shows the only image of a plumbata:

Different colors here, too, and an imperfect text, but nice to show I think.
