Looked at in isolation the use of an aluminium alloy for a transmission housing seems odd but it seems at this time it was simply an industry standard for some British manufacturers and may particularly apply to low volume items. Some vehicles even featured alloy differential housings which appear very strange to modern eyes.
What a fascinating thread!
