I'd bet the early ones tended to slosh over particularly if the reservoir was filled to the brim and the car did any quick motions. I believe the low port was only on the first version & before long Bendix changed the port and the lid so the opening would be higher. On those the fluid would need more force to get up and over & then down inside.

That stamped bubble passage lid in post 38 is the first of that type I've ever seen on a Packard but was on other cars. I've only seen the totally flat lids on Packards. One thing I'd be curious about is how many gasket types were available. I know other cars used various version flat lids at least from the outside appearance -- but were they all perfectly flat inside like Packards -- and did they all use the same type newer gaskets or keep using the earlier gaskets designed for flat lids.
