Thought folks may be interested.  Had heard of but not seen a heat shield.  Photos of a WWII generator that appears to be complete and unmodified.  Can't confirm but thinking it's original.  Perhaps others can confirm it is or not.

Thanks for posting these.  

I wonder if these showed up on the farm and industrial use Jeeps.

While I cannot confirm if this is "original", the gen-set that we had on the family farm had that exact heat shield. We bought it at an army surplus sale in 1965-ish. It was Willys powered. We may still have it in our junk yard.

If we ran it continuously in 105+ temperatures, it would still overheat. We fixed that by installing a radiator from some big tractor.
