Electricity travels path of least resistance.
I haven't had time to research this further as I came up empty quick search, as the black and white document info given was mostly pre-war (18-21 series) vs 23. Automotive changed fast after WW2. Not saying incorrect, uncertainty with conflicting evidence, looking for further conclusive proof. I'd like to know.
If the dist was put on and then the motor was painted, it would be block color at some height or evidence of mask. If it was added after paint, it would be the finish as received from manufacturer. One for the period manufacturing historians.

HINT: One of the "nice" features of other car "clubs" is they have "authenicity" manuals with this type info suitable for judging the various years.
