Then let me make this point absolutely clear.  Don't look at the
background layer.  It doesn't matter at all.  Look at the shield
overlay.  The shield overlay could be added to any rendering layer.

Here you go.  The shield layer on top of OSM's default mapnik rendering.

Now you can switch backgrounds and switch the shield layer on and off
to see what's included in the shield layer.
