Yes, there is considered to be a Corbridge 'C' that has minor differences from the B.
I'd be wary of taking the armor shown on Trajan's Column too 'literally' considering there are other things like helmets that don't match any known artifacts- there could be a fair bit of artistic licence in what's depicted. In terms of iconographic representations, I believe there is at least one more type of segmented armor on a major monument, but it completely escapes me at the moment- hopefully someone else can cay.
