Make sure the original brass restrictor fitting is screwed in to the bottom of the beehive.
The earliest photo of one these beehives was on Charles Scott's (Scotty) dry lakes roadster, in 1947. His roadster was voted best appearing roadster at one of the 1947 SCTA Meets. Somewhere, I have a 1947 or 1948 ad for a beehive filter.
If I remember correctly? This is the Filcoolator Model A-1 filter. The restrictor fitting was stamped A-1 too. I have an original paint/decal beehive on a '32 chassis out in the garage.
There are reproduction decals for sale on eBay with the cartridge number on them.

I'm still trying to research this. Here is an original photo of a Fram C-131. It seems to be an agricultural tractor oil filter according to some sites. Baldwin Filters crosses over the C-131 their P67. It looks like it might work.
