Wider is good for sure. If the dovetail was also deeper, the stop-plate could be thicker. If the stop-plate was thicker, there would be enough “substance” (metal) where it needs to be so that a captive screw could secure the plate, instead of relying on the weak dovetail, to take the beating from the ejectors. The screw only stops the stop-plate from up/down movement, nothing more. Smart design if the plate is intended to be sacrificial but, not so smart if there aren’t readily available spares, or if the dovetail fails b/f the plate. Neat design, poor execution.
