Double breasted or center fastening?

As mentioned Uratian bronze belts are very common, and were not worn over armour. These look very different to the ones shown in this thread.

They don't look anything like the tied-on belt in the image I showed, but they do look very much like the wide bronze belts found commonly in Italy. As I noted this may be simple convergence- how many ways are there to make a wide, bronze belt- but they may draw from a shared tradition.

Isn't that what I said?
Italy obviously has a lot of Eastern influence. Lamular armour, Bronze belts, conical helmet and the small chest plate armour all resemble much earlier designs from Assyria and Anatolia.

My problem with the belt theory on the Etruscan painting is the fact that the red line runs right through it and the cuirass, but under the ties on the chest.
