Perhaps Packard tried a cast or forged slug design aluminum piston, good poor results, and changed to cast iron while they quickly sourced an improved design?
That would make sense. I imagine aluminum metallurgy was still considered in it's infancy then and maybe an early version of all aluminum pistons (which still have issues for some today despite all the advances) would have had much bigger issues then.
