I have seen IIIA trauma plates tested the hard way and can verify they will not stop a 7.62X39 or 7.62X54R rifle round. Never got to see one vs. a pistol round.
(Of course they were Mushriqi so they might not have even stopped pistol rounds either.) They were useful vs. Shrapnel which may or may not be helpful for you.
