Default Cable operated vacuum wiper on '47 PU

Is this an aftermarket wiper assembly? I see no mention of it in the green bible. I just pulled it off a parts truck in the woods. All the parts move freely and it appears well made and easy to install in stock holes. Also I want to test it out and have read that some folks use brake fluid to lubricate the innards. Is this a good choice? I am on a mission to 'rainproof' the woodie. I completed it in 2019 but never installed wipers because I had no intention of driving it in the rain. Well, with the new drivetrain it seems to be itchin' to hit the open road, so I busted out the varnish brush and wiper rehab seems like the order of the day in between varnish coats.
