Are you sure the .sh files you found are not called .sh because they are shell scripts?
UNIX does not associate what a file is by the file extension like windows does.

You can get the "flavor" of a file with the file command

Code:
file myscript.sh

will return something like "Bourne Shell script" if it is a Bourne shell script, for example.
