Thanks Gavin citing the informative historical account...I think it is definitely plausible that the wealthy would have the money to incorporate foreign armour dress just like they would use foreign weapons.
I ran into a separate reference to Maha Bandula's armour in UK
"The armour of Maha Bandular once was displayed at British museum. The style of it is very similar to Rajput brigandine armour called Chihal'Ta Hazar Masha (Coat of the thousand nails)"
