Lexan is a trade name for polycarbonate, so unless the manual is different than the official field drawings, the defenses are definitely made of Lexan (or some other brand of polycarbonate).
not sure what type of polycarb they used, but it isnt the right kind, case and point here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hsls5ZPCUnE#t=48

I work with lexan almost everyday, it doesnt break very easily, they definitely arent using something that would make it into industrial use for impact resistance.
