Yeah the mudguards on older Galaxies, at least, seem to be pretty slender things. The very late '60s and '70s ones were a bit more on the light tourer end of the scale, just a very slack / comfortable road bike really, and often turn up with no mudguards or those ineffectual short ones.
I saw the other day that one of my workmates has a very early one in silver - seems to have had a hard life. I'm tempted to offer them a few notes to acquire it as a pub bike
