I also thought that since the bottom two plates have no lacing loops, the balteus should go over the second plate from the bottom. The imagery from the TC seem to support this idea.
I think many of the reenactors' baltei are way too heavy since they use cast plates instead of stamped ones. I am making a belt with light stamped plates and will see how that works out.
