I would say the name Flaviales points to a Constantinian date (perhaps the dynasty of Constantine anyway). Augustales may have been a bit later, perhaps?

I doubt it, actually - that division would appear to date initially to the 350s at least, which would perhaps put it in the same era, but I would guess it was more about army reorganisation than unit reorganisation. I think we're looking at a series of changes coming in over about 50-75 years or so, perhaps not all as part of the same connected plan!
