Rear views of muslim warriors showing how armour looks at the back are not common. Here are some from the 14th century:
Ilkhanid Soldiers in the 'Demotte' Shahnameh, A Battle Scene, Tabriz, c.1340-1350 (http://www.warfare.netau.net/Persia/14/Demotte_Shahnama.htm) This also shows some unusual neck armour.
