Default Gas tank shields

I think I am missing a shield on my drivers side gas tank. There is a nice scratch in the tank. I see two part numbers, one is a protector, and one is a shield. The passenger side has protection. I can't find any undercar pics either.

May fab something up, but if there are any pics it would be nice to see, because they don't indicate left or right on that crude drawing.

How would your gas tank get "scratched"? Are you driving your GS off road?

Nope, but it looks like something hit it and there is a scrape on it.

This can be caused by almost any road debris.

Maybe I will take a pic later. But the Drivers side definitely has a shield.

Found some pics(exhaust related but shows the tank), it appears the passenger side has a metal shield, but the drivers side don't. I have a nice gouge in what I believe is the tank though, unless that piece is the protection.
