Velocity Scarab side armor solution

I have a Velocity Systems Scarab LT plate carrier. I wasn't planning on attaching side armor to it to meet requirements for work, but it is so nice that I think I will.

I need to get full side coverage, and as far as I know, velocity doesn't make a side armor bag to attach to the cummerbund. I have the 6x6 quarter flaps but that isn't near enough, I'm a bigger guy.

The cummerbund on this carrier is probably similar enough to a Crye JPC that the JPC armor and pouches will work. Can anyone confirm or deny this, or offer up another possible solution? The cummerbund on the Scarab looks like it attaches differently than their other cummerbunds.

The JPC pouches could work, but if you need full soft armor coverage by policy, the Scarab may not be the answer. That said, it's always worth giving Velocity a call because they may have a solution that's not on their site yet.
