Re: What is this brass tag?

Having owned and been around 34 Packards for 50+ years, I don't think that tag is associated with the car. The only remote possibility is if the car had the type of radio that required a motor/alternator set which was often mounted in the glove box - I've never examined one of them closely for whatever lubrication needs they might have had. Other than that I think it's unrelated to your car. The only places where the factory lubrication chart calls for SAE 10 motor oil is for the generator (which I've never seen a tag on) and the crankcase when temperatures are below zero.

SAE 50 is appropriate for your Bijur system.
