That type with one captive is unusual. In fact, when Mattingly wrote 1933 article in Numismatic Chronicle article "FEL TEMP REPARATIO" he neglected to include the type. Here is another one: 24 mm. 5.78 grams. RIC VIII Thessalonica 178 variety (officina B not listed). Struck 25 Dec. 350 - Winter 354.
Yes. I believe it is concurrent with the two-captive type. It appears only from Thessalonica, which did not strike any with two captives.
Nice coins, here’s my Carinus Carinus AE-ANT 283-284 CE Obv: IMP C M AVR CARINVS P AVG Rev: VIRTVS AVGG, A in lower field, XXI in exergue. RIC V-II 325, 20mm 4.03 grams.
