Giannis your assumption is only 50% valid.
There is in my opinion 50% artistic error but "Herpsburg" style shields come in variants.
The ones in Delphoi had suffered structural damage and the one in Vienna is not flat at all.
We do not knwo how many specimens or what type the artist had seen.
Kind regards
