Well, I can show you examples and still not be a glentleman ;0)
H. Russell Robinson shows it or mentions it in Oriental Armour.
The catalog of the Stibbert Collection inFlorence has a pic. Any museum
that has a complete Ottoman armor like this on display will show it. But mostly its common sense-- the back of the neck wouldn't need that cutout
in fact it would be a negative. Unless you have a chin at the back of your head or a double-jointed neck, I guess.
