Has anyone else noticed that certain archer units don't have shoulder armor?

I confess that I have so many Mods that they can be the cause of this, but I would swear that the Azerai archers had shoulder armor and now, after the patch they no longer have it, am I wrong? I have hundreds of hours and never noticed it.
 
Some do, some don't, and some have multiple possible gear sets some of which have shoulder armor and some of which don't.

All of the aserai foot archers have shoulder armor in every set, though. There's a downgrade from T3 to T4 though, T4 only has a shawl.

The mamluke also has a weird downgrade and doesn't have shoulder armor at T5 and 1/2 sets have shoulder armor for the t4, would both T3 pre-archer mamluke has shoulder armor.

It seems like some armor sets were done more for variation in aesthetic than balance in stats.
 
I think it's good if archers have less armour than their melee counterparts.

It makes sense to have some pieces have lower arm/hand/shoulder armor for the sake of better range of motion for drawing bows, and somewhat less protective helms for no obstructing vision. Crossbowmen I suppose need less range of motion, hence higher armor.

Principled rationale for troops having the armor they do makes for a better experience overall I think.

I don't know if it's a problem in my game due to the Mods, but I checked all the unit trees, and no archer uses shoulder armor, with the exception of the elite ones, no other unit has this problem, nor are there any weapons or other pieces of armor missing, and I find it difficult for Mods to provoke this in vanilla units, I only noticed it in 1.0.2.
