Here are some more close-ups of the links taken from different areas. The first two images are from the inside of the hauberk, the rest from the outside. Perhaps it was turned inside out at one time ?

Colin, now that you have my examples and have throughly examined it what is your opinion...round rivets with rivet heads on both sides or wedge riveted with a rivet head on one side and smooth on the other? By the way, if wedge riveted then the rivet heads should be on the outside, otherwise it is inside out.

As you had asked for more images, I was hoping you would expand further on this topic...

I will, I was just hoping you had formed an opinion.

Here is an image of the front and back of the links next to each other, from the information I provided someone should be able to determine if this hauberk is round riveted or wedge riveted......
