The small round one was standard on the 200 but the larger oil bath cleaner was optional on 200s both from the factory and from dealers. According to the RPO sheet the oil bath was standard on the 250, 300 and 400 models. It was probably ordered when the optional engines were installed on 200s but being as the 200 was the low end almost everything was an option at extra cost for that model.

The oil wetted was adequate but oil bath was recommended for dusty or severe use areas and was considered the best available at the time. I'm sure a lot of dealers made a few extra bucks by promoting it.
