This post is just to check my understanding of the supposed structure
of the Rossi device.
I think that this (speculative!) diagram best shows the location of
the heating resistors.

Links have been posted to manufacturer's information for both the
"collar" resistor and the "probe" resistor.
The latter is available in sizes up to several kW.
Thanks for taking the time to post this.
This seems to match the shape (external shape anyway) of the E-cats
as they were at one point:

It is difficult to determine if lead shielding was used, but it does
appear there is a sheet of material showing on the back end
underneath the foil of the wrapped one. The melting point of lead is
327°C, so that would put a limit on the temperature of the outside
resistors.
The E-cats as demonstrated in Krivit's video are here at time 1:42:

I see the tall large diameter chimney has been replaced with a short
one. Perhaps just the fat part was removed, leaving the short narrow
vertical tube. The central bulge does not look to be as large a
diameter either, but there is no way to tell how thick the insulation
is at various points.
The total power of resisters (in your drawing) at 300 W + 300 W = 600
W seems low. Rossi states in Krivit's film he is using 748 watts,
from which I did the following computations:

In another demo the power was up over 1000 W.
I don't see wiring for any sensors that the controller might use in
the above photo. There is a white cable coming out of the back right
side in the film. It is not possible to tell if sensor wires are
included in the white cables along with the power wires.
As Terry Blanton stated, "What is unseen remains a matter of
conjecture."
