Here is an odd one:

*229* re-painted black


300 type guts


2-piece cup riveted together


Hole filled in and filed

Looks to me like a WW2 era "re-purposing" of obsolete parts, unless Dr. Frankenphone was really busy.

I've always wondered about those cups with the filled in holes.  I've seen several of those - seems like it would have cost more for WE to fill the hole in than just melt it down and supply a new cup.

Never waste anything.Fill in the hole and machine a slot for the wire in the lug.
