Would they not be better with a "ramp" up the front face of the vertical rear fence, similar in profile to the canard, which should reduce drag by tipping the airflow up and over the fence?
That is another way of doing it- make winglets. Then you could add a guerney flap to the winglet to make it more efficient.
Regardless of its shape frontal area is still frontal area and punches the same size hole in the air.
What I am doing is using the principle of an air dam and splitter, combined with end fences. I have some doctrine on it somewhere in either a Joseph Katz or Simon McBeath book somewhere.
