Mark Mark, as far as I know a " roku mai dou" has 5 hinges that divide the armor into 6 individual plates, From what I can see your dou appears to be an okegawa dou, or more specifically a "byo-toji yoko-hagi okegawa dou" which means that it a okegawa dou that has protruding rivets (byo-toji) and horizontal plates (yoko-hagi). I have posted an example below, if your dou is different let me know. Quote
