Did spaulders/pauldron ever not use sliding rivets?

I'm asking because I've noticed at least one 14th century effigy showing what looks to be sliding rivets on the spaulders.

Is there any reason to think 14th century spaulders didn't use sliding rivets?
(They seem pretty necessary for stabilizing the piece.)
