The Afrati Armour in Harvard

Source: Harvard Art Museums
The repatriation of the Afrati armour from New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art has implications for other museums. Harvard received several pieces in 1991, some inscribed, that had formed part of the Norbert Schimmel collection (like the pieces in the Met and the cuirass in the Michael C. Carlos Museum). 

Given the interest in the Afrati material by Matthew Bogdanos can we assume that these other pieces of armour will be returning to Crete in the near future?
