So, I surmise that the metal plate I was referring to is the shielding on the inside of the case found pre-1991 on all models and post-1991 on everything but the 32SII and low end models.

This seems to be supported by Fig. 23 of Geoff's article, where the metal shielding covers the exact spot I was referring to in my previous posts:

That final link appears to be bad, it takes me to some sales page on HP's website. I think the ellipsis screws it up.
