Smittybilt rear bumper lower quarter shields?

Recently installed a Smittybilt XRC rear bumper on my 2000XJ. It also came with two lower quarter armor shields that pop rivet onto where the old bumper caps were. They both have a big slot cut out of the front in the seam or bend. This just looks like a great way to trap dirt and moisture. Does anyone have a clue why they would purposely add them to the otherwise fine parts? I can take a picture but figured someone else has seen them also.
 
It's so it fits all years. Most people will trim the plates to go with Trimmed fenders. Plus you seal them with silicon. I Trimmed mine and used Nutserts and button head bolts.
