The picture shows my muffler heat shield. Is this the correct shape?

I checked the measurements and if it wasn’t bent it would match the measurements shown below. The puzzling thing is the vertical bend is by on a machined bead and the 3 small beads don’t run through the large bead. I think this was factory made. Could this be for a different car?

No bend.

No, not that I am aware of, and I have seen quite some ...
The one WRe showed is correct.
This is what it looked and looks on my cars as well.

I have one that came from SLS some years ago, I have not fitted it as I am now not sure if my early 250 should have one also I don't know exactly where it fits.
Mine does not have the sloped shape on one corner.
