Im thinking of a different beam. the one I am thinking of shows 'Persians' fighting Lydian hoplites. Sake Tigrakhauda should be wearing Median clothing also as they lived in Iran.
Persian clothing didn't change from the time of the Neo-Assyrian Empire until the Parthians. The vases showing easterners with pelta are definitely Anatolians, not Persians.
As Paul says, I would say that the majority of Greek depictions should not be taken as correct. I have looked at these intensively and the vast majority of details just don't add up.
