The side grill, I believe, has something to do with reducing the effect of proximity effect.

The switch is the high pass filter. It is useful. You should see their little flat line or diagonal line etched into the side. With flat response you can get awesome guitar tones. With flat response you can get vocal tones very similar to the RE20, maybe a little gushier mids and a little less low response. Put in the high pass and you can get a nice semi-AM-radio low fi sound for vocals and acoustic guitars. But I would call it 'relatively low fi' for vocals, not tin can.

I have an re11 that sounds kind of honky (real mid rangy to me). Want to examine the XLR connection. Can't get it appart though.

Rolloff and the vents ARE to reduce proximity effect.
They had a name for it... like the "D-grill" or the "D-something...." I forget now.
it was a patented design, of course, with a name.

Variable D. The vents are to create the pickup pattern (cardioid or hypercardioid, depending on the model) with minimum proximity effect.

I love my RE11 (got it with and a 635a for $70) - use it on snare as a nice alternate to a 57. It sounds cool on guitar amps too.

I got a couple RE10s for free a while back. I need to spend a little more time with them...
