Good questions!!!!!!! Have wondered about some of the same things. My opinion-- the brass carb seems to wear very easily on the regular, such as where the choke plate is. They also had a cork float, unless it has been replaced with a brass one, like mine has.
As far as the oil filter goes, I believe it was an after market filter made by Purlator?? They were brass and were made to be washed and reused. The only thing that was pressured by the oil pump and filtered was the oil to the governor housing. All the oil the rocker assembly recieved was thru the oil cups on the valve cover. In my opinion (only) I do not think the brass carbs were all that reliable, with the cork float (unless changed to brass) and believe it was more like a mixer type instead of a carb. Again, this is only my opinion. The oil filter does not seem to be of a lot of use. Like you said, my 1929 and 1931 Case do not have them. Again, good questions and hope I have been of some help. I am sure that it will raise some other opinions. Jim in ILL.
