Good catch! It's two different textures, with the honeycomb to the upper-left and a hard-to-define purple pattern to the lower-right. I also hadn't noticed the different shapes to the bottles/capsules/presumable-collectibles. This plus the asymmetry of the helmet (which looks like it has a crest in two completely different shapes) evokes the build-a-Rider vibe of W and OOO. I could easily see the two bottles representing - providing, really - each motif on the crest (and presumably chest given the asymmetrical shoulder detail.)
Given the gear logo - and I assume this is the real logo for the series - "Build-a-Rider" sounds more likely to me than construction or bodybuilding. Given Toei's love of multiple meanings, though, watch it be come combination of those things.
Given that W already did a Rider split down the middle and OOO was split into three sections, I'm curious about how they'd implement this (assuming these guesses are in the right ballpark.) Actually, come to think of it, the logo and the background of the bottles suggests a diagonal split in a very specific shape. I'm wondering if the suit will do something exactly like that, only in multiple segments: diagonal-split helmet and diagonal-split suit.
Hm. Perhaps the right crest and shoulder details aren't part of a second half, but are instead part of the suit's base design, so everything above the split is the "build-on" part of the Rider. (Well, or everything below the split.) I'm imagining a retail toy line in which the figure has a partially hollow chest - and maybe helmet - that can be fitted with different build-ins.
With all that said, I am strongly hoping that the bar that projects to the left at waist level is an item kept secured to the back and not, y'know. An incredibly impractical piece at the front of the Driver. I wouldn't bet on it, though, since Driver design hasn't been trending more practical, and that thing looks suspiciously like it could be a lever.
