Missing vanilla armour and shields

Going through the list of armours and shields on the Elder Scrolls wikia page, it would appear the following are missing from their relevant sets:

 

Fur: Shield

Leather: Shield

Studded: Shield, helmet, gauntlet, boots

Scaled: Shield

Ancient Nord: Shield

Steel Plate: Shield

 

Is there an all-in-one mod that adds these missing items? I know some people might think that the fur and leather shields are a bit daft, but they were present in Oblivion. Just seems rather strange to have incomplete armour sets after all this time. The fur would be the bare minimum in terms of overall defensive capability, and the leather one would really just be a slightly stronger hide, perhaps using better quality materials. The worst case with fur, even a basic wooden shield would suffice. The studded shield could just recycle the existing hide shield model, which for the hide shield would remove the studs placed and just be textured with some loosely stitched hides on a wooden frame, whereas the leather sheild would be better presented with a more form fitting arrangement with better quality stitching joining the leather to the shield. The scaled one would easily be the studded shield with a couple of added scales. You could even have it so that there is an upgrade path from hide to leather to studded to scaled.

 

Ancient Nord is another one, as I don't see them using hide shields after so many thousand years, even in conjunction with their now rusted armour, and the steel plate shield should be pretty obvious given that nearly all the rest of the heavy armour sets include a shield of some description, and would look like a bit like the dragonplate shield, though with a more layered steel look to it.
