Has anyone noticed this?

One thing that struck me is the apparent lack of FB wrapper stays.  Is  
this right? No stays?  From the shot of the smokebox tube plate it  
looks like there are longitudinal stays, but then I don't see bushes  
for the steam and blower headers...  Out of curiosity, (no intention of  
ever trying this myself!) what are pros/cons of a SS boiler (besides  
the obvious difficulty of working with this metal)?
