I know what you mean about the fans on the R38 and R40 and I think on the later half of the R32's IIRC. Instead of having the usual louvres that the bulk of the SMEE fleet had they had a flat plate with holes.This was believe it or not chosen by public vote including mine when they had 4 test fan cars parked at 34th/6th before there was 4-track operation there...l964 or so.
The reason the newer pattern won out was the reduction of the annoying harsh draft from the established system which could be annoying....but appreciated on a HOT day! Guess it wan't a very hot time of year when the votes were cast as yes, the newer setup was not very good!
