B-17 Pilots armor plate

[Dave]

Can anyone find a drawing of the armor plate that goes behind the pilots seats please, need to make a set.
P/N 6-11597-1 & 6-11597

I believe this is a detail that most B-17 restorations have missed. Didn't most, if not all combat-ready B-17s have armor-plating installed behind the pilots seats? I am looking for pictures of the type used in B-17 aircraft. I thought that "Mary Alice" had them installed. Anyone know? please tell me

The blueprints show that pilot seat armor was standard on the B-17E-G
(It may also have been added to the C/D, but I have not gotten to that part of
the B-17C microfilm reels yet). The E had a drawing, the early Fs had one, and the late Fs
and Gs had a third type of armor.

This is the early F model pilot armor:
