That is in all probability the case.
Paul's tunic is obviously not wrong but in my opinion does not look like the type of tunic shown worn by soldiers. Caballo's on the other hand looks a lot better and has the narrower shape with the longer sleeves.
Do not worry about tucks Caballo, they are a feature of many surviving tunics. One late Roman writer even wondered why tunics were made so long in the first place!
