You're both wrong, they're actually dorsal plates. Well, according to Word of God, at least; biologically, they'd most likely be closer to scutes, since that's the most phylogenetically likely option given his backstories and design all suggesting Godzilla being an archosaur of some kind.

But then again, this is the same series that has carnivorous ankylosaurs, double-brained dinosaurs, time travel, space hydras, moth deities and other such ideas...so maybe biology in the Godzilla canon is different to that of ours.
