In my earlier email, I wrongly assumed you were talking about a P2 oil filter.
As the part number you've given is different, my earlier information probably becomes irrelevant.
Along with you, I'm interested the comments of other members.

Hello Tony I have a 1947 12Tourer and the rear springs that were originally fitted were from the 10HP Saloon. I've just looked in the "12Tourer Supplement" of the clubs "Master Spare Parts List" and its confirmed there. [Years ago a senior members of this club told me that the chassis of the 47/12t ...

. . I agree with Chris' [above] mine was veneered ply too. For my replacement I was able to stain/varnish ordinary ply "off the shelf" from my local timber merchants. When renewing the dashboard on my 47/12 I didn't find any particular problems. Using material of a similar thickness, I drew around t...

Hello All. In the Manual for these post war P2's it mentions that [due to post war shortages] oversized spockets were made and fitted to compensate for the use of worn timing chains, [see manual page A25] Although my 47/12 doesn't have one of these, I do wonder what other dodgy/cleaver tricks they g...

Hello. Ray, Paul and All. Ray, In your posting you say. " The oil reading on the gauge still operates as usual " If you are sure of this, its hard to see how the Gauge itself can be faulty. The two [oil & petrol] Senders are electrically similar, so how is it? One sender works but not the other. The...
