Maybe I just don't know how bulletproof vests work, but shouldn't there be some layers of energy dispersing material on top of that plate?
Is it a fair comparison without?
At least for steel plate, it should work without any supporting material.
Kevlar around it would help catch spalling from a bullet flattening out and spraying little bits of shrapnel out across the surface, but since these ones aren't actually stopping the bullets, there is no spalling to catch.
