Default Civilian receiver IFT

I have an old wartime Civilian receiver in which the first IF transformer is unshielded. It looks to be originally made that way, but I'm wondering if this is correct.
TIA
Peter

Many thanks Peter.
I do have another Civilian receiver with a shielded IF transformer.
A different manufacturer probably.

So one of these Pye sets really would need an EF39 with good metallising!

Yes but I guess in wartime if you could 'get away with it' and not fit the shielding can on one of these civvy radios it meant you had a shielding-can to go into a possibly rather-more-important military-order 18- or 19-set or a PCR?
