I've got an illustration of a hunting spear from (I think) the mosaic floor of the Great Palace. Maybe I can scan and post it here (once my scanner is up and working again! GRRRR!)
Yes, the "circle" at the stomach MIGHT be extra protection, but IIRC I've seen a contemporary illustration that shows it as a gap - with the same mail showing through as at the borders of the klivanion. I'll have to see if I can search it up. It's all a bit of a mystery to me, and I'd love to get it resolved.
BTW, I haven't got your snail mail address yet. Can you send it?
