Hi Dom,
This shield does not match any of the accepted types, therefore it should be avoided. The overall appearance is soft, the letters 'E' and 'J' as well as the '9' don't match known originals and the back plate is also bad. Note that the top prong has been broken off and clumsily re glued back on. All not good.
Regards, Ned.
