The figure I described above comes from the same source, Warry, p 13. You will note the porpax (thanks Stefanos) is below center. This may be artistic, but might serve as a counterbalance to lifting the shieild quickly to block a decending blow. Maybe. When I get the body of the shield built I am going to play with the lcation of the porpax. I note the Doncaster shield (I think) is off center also. Whether this is intentional or sloppy work I dont know.
