Replacement Parts Gripe

I decided to replace the old original muffler heat shield, so I added this to a recent parts order. As you can see by the picture not quote the same. I'm not bent over the price it was only $6.00. But as you can see it is half the size needed and as such it's pretty useless, you have to order two to get close. How did someone decide this part was a 'replacement' for a 1960-66 heat shield?
