Haven’t seen a heat shield for the fuel pump before, was that on the car when you got it?
Standard fitting, I believe, Dave, as with the heatshield for the Dynamo and for the Carburettor.
They are the sort of thing that gets taken off and forgotten about when re-assembling (like the heater tube).
In places like the UK the difference is probably negligible, however if you encounter fuel vaporisation it something to try to eliminate the problem.
