i dont' know if i would really call them 'reflectors'. from the shape and
spacing i would think they were more of a vertical ground screen behind the
monopoles. kind of like having a dipole mounted above a ground screen, it
would provide some directionality outward and shield them from noise from
the building inside.

Here is a URL with a couple of photos of HF antennas with real reflectors.
For more, do a search for FRD-10, FLR-9, and
Wullenweber. Just look at the photos; most of the text is, unfortunately,
not very accurate. While I never knew the
German originators of the design during WW2, I did work with the engineer
who developed the US version back in the 50s.
