Yes, and notice that those are from the 5th and 4th centuries BC, not the 3rd or later- this is what we are discussing here, not whether such armour was worn at all in ancient times. And even those earlier examples are different from the kind of armour EB has shown here, which has no pteruges or shoulder yokes.
