Re: Diff casing
Axle casing is (and therefore black) , but the diff part is aluminium.

Re: Diff casing
I believe the axle casing was painted black and the unpainted alloy diff casing attached during sub assembly stage.
The alloy will need some surface protection or it will 'deteriorate'.

Busy collecting parts for my '52 MM Convertible and 1949 Saloon restorations. :o

Re: Diff casing
No preservation is required for the outside of the alloy diff housing. It will not deteriorate and can be left bare metal.
