Just my 2 cents.... It seems to me that the term "schaube" has the same problem as the term coat or jacket in modern terms. We call all jackets the same thing but it does not indicate what style they are (long, short, leather, wool, nylon, etc.)
So perhaps a "schaube" to them was just a term for a coat and using our modern context, we are trying to differentiate the styles by finding different words for them. But in period there was really only one term for them. I liken this issue to one I had when trying to differentiate different styles of renaissance German lady's dresses. In period they would have just called them dresses or "rocks" even though they had different features.
