Now I'm wondering if the chain mail coif would be worn under the padding. Padding providing defense against heavy blows but the chain mail for cuts. If that's the case it would make sense that the outside would be hot and removed while not in battle leaving only the chain behind. It would also explain the bodies found. The mail is still in place but the outside fabric could would have rotted away.
