Well, I'd be inclined to call it 'pauldrons'. Technically a pauldron only
covers the shoulder, but it's the closest thing that comes to mind. It
doesn't really have a "real" equivalent.
Pauldron (or pawldron, or poldron) is an authentic term, but a bit esoteric,
so you probably will want to include a picture, since most people won't know
what you're talking about. :)
