It seems kind of over-done, as in blocking the sound.
If a small gauge screen, in a Headbasket, can make a difference then what does putting a plate directly in front of the capsule do?
Obviously its a well liked, old design, microphone but makes me wonder about the small tweaks here and there.
Most mics don't have that plate, the general design is the bare-capsule in the headbasket.

I don't know, it just struck me as a design thing. There's usually a reason for it. Maybe poking it with a finger? but the headbasket does that.
Plosives?
