Significantly thinner than the wooden shields, from the looks of things.

Not thin enough, I think.

Metal is more than slightly stronger than wood for its weight. A -25% weight reduction should not yield the same strength.

That's why I thought DR 6 was more appropriate, like other metal items. Potentially DR 7. But you end up with less HP because of the weight reduction, so metal shields even so aren't as durable as I would have thought.
