The Varusschlacht museum and park at Kalkriese have a new publication (entitled Jahresmagazin 2022 Rückblende) downloadable as a PDF which has photos (on pp.16-21) of half of the whole of the conserved cuirass in pieces (so examples of all the types of plates). This piece of Schienenporn is in German, but you don't need German to understand the pictures. If you want to know more, cut and paste chunks of the text into Google Translate (or, for a consistently better translation, try DeepL).
They have also reinterpreted their original reconstruction of the upper shoulderguards (there were no lesser shoulderguards on the Kalkriese type) and reversed them. Make of that what you will.
