It may not be wise to mount meters on Plexiglass if they are going to
be carrying high voltage. There would be a chance of high voltage
getting to the outside via something like the zero set screw, or just
breaking down the insulation of the meter case. It might be safer to
ground the mounting bolts of the meters and have the entire meter behind
the Plexiglass.
Of course the "po boy" of 1935 would not have had Plexiglass - he would
have had to make do with window glass. And most likely would have used
Masonite for the panels.
