Yes, many city states did not have finaces to raise enough hoplites and the biggest proprotion of their army was open order troops (i.e Phokians).

Peltasts did carry shield devices because IFF was essential then as it was now. Each Thracian tribe also had its own emblem.

The peltast with the dolphin can be a Corinthian or a mercenary of the Delean Laegue.

Best regards
