Weren't they called sports prototypes, e.g. they were prototypes and not production cars so the teams could modify them in any way they wanted, as long as the car still met the rules (usually only covering dimensions and capacities).
Of course doing similar things but with current knowledge would make them quicker but does not reflect what happened in period.
So the problem is how do you establish what modifications are of a type done in period.
