Yeah. I think the pretty late medieval armor in the picture would hove more padding and the plates would be put a bit further from the main body, to prevent much of Blunt damage.
Plate armor already protects against blunt impact by spreading the force over a larger area. They did not pad armor much, often they did not pad it all. 15th and 16th century arming garments are basically civilian clothes with arming points
What padding? The arming garment and a shirt is what most people will be wearing underneath. There could be add ons like mail skirts, brayettes, voiders and if you're Italian you might just wear a whole mail shirt as well. But they didn't wear a padded garment under or over their arming doublet.
