They were deliberately battens of ply or a similarly stiff wood member. This is in contrast to the former flimsy panel which resonated a lot, unsurprisingly, and did nothing for structural integrity.

The top, as PAR mentioned, was similar to the sides but also did nothing positive sonically.

The replacement was specified to offer some of the damping quality of slate without being so massive as to kill the sound, if you understand what I mean. The reinforced frame was then simply meant to act as a sympathetic cradle for this top-plate and deck.
