Oh yes, I remember them and the ones that were just for frags, I have a couple around here that came in an old surplus bid.
Sadly the US Company refuse to sell me some "Genuine" Plates so the next best Source is from China. There is only one hard way to find out how good the will be. Beside of that I looking for Infos what a good Plate Carrier make them good. I know I buy side Plates to. And I should wear Cloth without Button and Zipper to. Maybe your Gov want liberate my Country again for that case some preparation are necessary.
Vietnam era flack jackets had no plates in them, and as you say were just for fragments.
Helicopter pilots vests did have a steel plate, commonly called a "chicken plate."

There were versions with pockets for steel plates that could be put in them. They were an issue item.
Just to clear something up. The Steel plates were not billed as bullet proof . The main idea was better protection from sharpnel. They were heavy and hard to move in.
Some where I have one. I have not seen it in many years. Packed away with a lot of uniforms and junk some where.

1969 issue flack jackets for ground troops in Vietnam had no plates nor a provision for them.
Any special troops like Rangers or Special Forces didn’t wear one at all.

Here is a picture of a FLAK vest used in WW2 by US aircrew members.
There are strips of Manganese steel fitted in their vests, used for protection from AAA fragments.
Guys who rode on top of the M206 and M113 APC'S put them under their asses for protection.
