Estcrh, I was looking again at the example of a Chilta Hazar Masha you provided from the Wallance Collection compared to the black and white photo labeled as General Maha Bandula's armour and wow! it looks like it is almost an exact match...I'm not saying this particular one is Maha Bandula's, but at least they are very similar.
