Why would they do that? Why would anyone go to the trouble of lining one
wall with asbestos sheet, but line the adjacent wall with fibre board
(which is useless when it comes to fire resistance)?

Any thoughts/experiences/wisdom?

Not really. Asbestos was used in Victorian times though

damn stuff was used till 19veryrecently in Artex
and as plain boards - inspector who found ours
pulled out fibres of it and held it very close to his
face/nose & proceeded to explain how expensive it's
going to be to remove this deadly stuff.
