A bit of engineering coming out of me, but I expect the shields were not an after thought but rather intended to be fitted after actual installation measurements were made. It's how I would have done it. In those day you have to figure that tolerances and clearances were not nearly as tight as today's manufacturing. Also when you consider the scale of the work, even today you'd be hard pressed to control such features. The shield would rapidly lose it's effectiveness as the gaps opened up.
