Another riddle solved... The oil filter is required is Fleetguard LF 510. Identical element to the 513 but the 513 comes a bigger diameter rubber gasket. It is the same as what it used on Ford Jeeps.

It appears to be identical to the one that Mike Cecil very helpfully put up pictures of earlier in this thread.
Hi Tony,

I think I posted the attached photo a while back but thought it may be useful again here.
It is a comparison of three oil filters. Left- original NOS, Middle- WIX 551001, and right- Fleetguard 510
The WIX is the best fit, in fact the specs for the top and bottom holes are exactly the same as the support tube dimensions in the cannister.
The Fleetguard is a bit shorter and fatter and is more readily available in Aus.
I got the WIX from Engine Australia in Brisbane, the WIX importers.
The NOS is just for show. Would never use a 75 year old filter. Just sent it straight to the pool room!
I believe there were two manufacturers of the filter assemblies so these may only apply to the type I have. Always best to check one's own equipment.

Thanks for the kind comment too.

Cheers
