I wonder if these differences have something to do with a time period, geographic area or the size of the wearer?

Hello, Richard.

My opinion is that these chain mails were produced at about the same time in the same geographical region (Deccan). And the difference in the number of rows of small plates in the back is related to the size of the chain mail.
