Please can you be more specific? I am not sure
of what you are talking about.
I don't see a real difference for the shape codpiece.
I believe it is more the way they are drawn
than the actual shape of the garment.

Just for the sake of information, it seems that the slit on the side
has been made later in the using life of the garment.
Anyway, I wasn't showing the red pourpoint has a civilian
example but for the structure of an original padding
(on which I have information) that matches
contemporary ordinances (14th century)
still in use in the 1470's.

The black points in the picture are made in silk thread
with the finger-loop breading using 5 loops.
They are mine and I don't master any other technique. :-)

That's already in the guide but you are right
I should perhaps be more specific.

Thanks for you comments,
