Default Classifying real world shields

It's often not easy to distinguish into which categories (small, medium or large as well as buckler or shield) a given real world shield should fall in GURPS.

Of course, the arrival of Cabaret Chicks on Ice will give us more accurate DR and HP stats for those types, but it does not necessarily have space to classify each and every historical shield.

So, what would the forums call the following shields?

Rodela/Rotella target shield. See also Rodela bucklers.

Viking Shields

I. 33 Metal Buckler

Particularly interested in the opinions of authors and playtesters of CCoI, as to how to model those.

See also this thread for styles and style perks for fighting with shields.
