In Connolly's The Greek armies 77 and Greece and Rome at War 81, in niether as far as I can see does he mention anything other then the "Linen Cuirass"...
Articles meant for the general public from a similar age mention:
Spolas, Spolades
Non metallic corselet
Linothorax
Linothorakes etc
I don't recall seeing "Tube and Yoke" till the new century...
but for me its a short description of a design ie mail, scale, linen, Leather, plate etc or a combo can all be TY...
So good for a general form but not much else.

"And the four bare walls stand on the seashore. a wreck a skeleton a monument of that instability and vicissitude to which all things human are subject. Not a dwelling within sight, and the farm labourer, and curious traveller, are the only persons that ever visit the scene where once so many thousands were congregated." T.Lewin 1867
