You are right, they do look like a backwards corrazzina. I've never sen this design elsewhere, I wonder if we can find more info on it.
It does, however reinforce my point - contemporary armor used horizontal faulds, not trapezoidal plates.
Otto: It does have some resemblance to the tassets, but those were later and (generally) lower on the body. In fact, early tassets hung from the bottom of a set of horizontal faulds, protecting the upper leg (while the fauld covered the hips). It was only in the 16C (or maybe even 17C) that you see tassets attached directly to the breastplate.
I have never seen a 14-15C kit with tassets and no faulds, so I am sticking to my guns for now - corrazzinas should have faulds. I would welcome any evidence to the contrary though (since it'd be easier to make...
