Shoulder Armor
The shoulder armor is called a spaulder. It's a predecessor to the pauldron, which covered more and was usually made of overlapping plates, like an armadillo.
Here are observed detail notes across different costume variants:
"Concept" Boba Fett
Short and sticking straight out, rather than falling with the shoulder curve
"Prototype" Boba Fett

"Pre-Pro #1" Boba Fett
Unique skull variant on the left shoulder
No symbol on the right shoulder
"Pre-Pro #2" Boba Fett
Unique skull variant on the left shoulder
No symbol on the right shoulder
