Okay, I will test my luck here too....I had been told before that at one time at least the famous Burmese General Mana Bandula's surrendered armour was on display at the Tower of London. I do not know if they allow photos taken in the Tower of London...and don't want anyone getting locked up there for the sake of the forum but it would be most interesting to see.

I believe his armour was surrendered at the Treaty of Yandabo during the first Anglo Burman war:

I have seen an old photo of his armour and you can see the strong Indian influence. And also there is depictions of him in Burmese style military dress.
