Personally i don't see why one should asume that these scales should be iron(or bronze,like Connolly suggested) In all coloured depictions(and there is a number of them-i know of at least three off the top of my head) they are shown white-while iron in the same paintings is shown blue-grey. And having examined the Mars of Todi closely,i can say with certainty that there are many clues that point to it meant to be leather.
I can't connect the Asyrian armours to 4th century Etruscan cuirasses,to be honest.
