Well, not SE Asia, but from India, this may be worth taking a look at

I believe kingdoms in Vietnam (i.e Dai-Viet, etc) used armor similar to China, not sure on Champa (Southern Vietnam)

I think Champa probably had similar armor like the Khmers b/c both kingdoms were greatly influenced by India culturally. Anyway, I wouldn't consider Champa as Southern VN, but central instead. B/c the very southern part of VN was once Cambodia's territory. This includes Saigon etc.

MORO ARMOUR



Posted Image

http://www.eriksedge.com/PH116.jpg


Rare Moro armor made with bronze/brass plates and chain mail. Thick metal plates with a good dark patina from age held together with intricately woven links. The lower hook used for holding the armor shut is missing, there is some re-weaving on some of the links on the back, and some areas of discoloration where the bronze has been stained by corrosion. Overall very good condition for a 19th century armor,

I had the impression that the Moros mainly copied Spanish armour, or scavenged Spanish armour from the enemies they killed. For example, this picture that I have of Moro (Mindanao-Sulu) warriors:
