Thanks JD for that useful information. It seemed it had to be, a pure copper oil sump air filter pan wouldn't have the physical strength to stand up to the handling, vibration, etc.

The oil bath units I'm most familiar with are 1941 160/180, 1948 Custom 8, and 1954 Patrician. They all had no copper plating but the steel did seem to have some sort of plating, not entirely unlike (but not the same as) galvanizing in appearance.
