There's so much media representing Dunk with external armor, it's going to take forever and cost a lot to clean everything up. AFAIK, the "internal" theory only became dominant recently, and I think it might have been because they found evidence of skin patterning in a recent fossil? I might be conflating that with the (also recent) Ankylosaurus find, which had spectacular preservation of skin patterns.
