Your oil filter is a Ford authorized accessory introduced in 1939. Its design was modified in mid 1940 to change the oil return line from fuel pump banjo fitting to distributor banjo fitting. It was later changed to return directly to the oil pan at the dipstick, and was available in that configuration for the rest of the flathead era.
