A good amount of this info is included in the "Grades" section. Details about stock features on each grade are listed in there.
I believe the only shields that were used on grade 3 guns were on hammer guns.
The standard location for a shield on hammer guns was on top behind the tang. I have seen Grade 3 and 4 hammer guns that have both the upper shield and a lower oval in the toe line.
But, it was standard for hammerless guns to use the oval in the toe line on D and C.
