These are all made to the C.E.N Performance Level 1 350 Newtons standard. Plastrons are designed to help protect the fencer. The seams of the plastron are specifically placed at different places to those on the jacket. This is because clothing is most vulnerable at the stitching, placing the stitching so that it doesn't match up ensures extra security.
