They're all metal shielded. Instead of putting an obvious, and heavy, steel tankard around the K3, they use a subtle conductive paint job around the interior case. It's electrically equivalent to wrapping the whole thing in tin foil, if you give a proper single-path ground to the foil (so many nuts forget this!). You can't get all those fancy little agency stamps on the back without such shielding.
