Florian, try Bishop & Coulston's RME2, in the colour plate section (plate eight) is a bronze buckle in the shape of a Nidermoermter with a full size crest!
It is the only one as far as I know - but sets a precedent. Centurion's transverse crest should therefore not be ruled out.
Also, I would opt for a longer vitus than the Principate, tending toward the 4thC waist high staffs.
As you well know, the whole 3rd C is a transition period - but that is why we love it so much!
