RE: bulkheads

Hello, Robert,

If, as has been mentioned, the photo was taken before final assembly/welding, it is possible that the "bulkhead" is nothing more than a temporary welding shield, to prevent sparks from interfering with other work going on in the compartment. It may even have been just an asbestos blanket, hung temporarily.

Hope this helps

Garth
