Cross-body? It's been a decade or more since I looked, but I thought
they hung straight down ... ah,
<http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/14301a.htm>
(Catholic Encyclopedia,
191x), says of the stole
Deacons wear the stole like a sash, the vestment resting on the
left shoulder and thence passing across the breast and back to the
right side. The stole of the priest extends from the back of the
neck across the shoulders to the breast, where the two halves
either cross each other or fall down straight according as the
stole is worn over the alb or the surplice. The stole is worn by a
bishop in the same manner as a priest, except that it is never
crossed on the breast, as a bishop wears the pectoral cross.
That's reversed compared to your report.
<http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/15388a.htm>
lists all the vestments
as of 19mumble: "those of the deacon of amice, alb, cincture, maniple,
stole, and dalmatic."
