The original steel was as rolled to thickness and width in a hot band steel roll mill. The process left rounded side edges and appearance wise are tough to recreate from sheared stock. It can be done but it would be tedious.

It was probably just a cheap easy to get structural steel stock at the time.

I started a thread with pictures.
