Isn't possible that the same textile and wood remains are of something totally different?
Also, isn't it possible that the artists got inspiration to draw these charriots from the description in Hindu Puranas such as Mahabharata?

I heard claims that costumes of Tarim mummies and tocharians are identical or similar whit those of irish or european ones.However,from th e pictures that i have seen they look distinctly central asian,similar whit Scythian and even later turkik.
The dotted patern was specific to middle east from Babylon to Turkey and from Ukraine to west China.also the wrapping at the neck level is typical saka.
The square or linear pattern is to general to draw conclusions as it is spread from Ireland to Indonesia .its a simple pattern rezulted from th e weaving technique it-self.
