Or given the number of other modifications from original in the first photo, it could be a post-production change made by one of its previous owners.

That's what I thought. Thank you.
Supposedly this car was originally "restored" in 1952 and appears it may have been spruced up again in the 70s. Maybe they could have gotten ahold of a NOS insulator in 1952 or so.... just seems so odd to have have just put 1 cup as opposed to just covering them all.... I'll have to decide what plan to take. I really hate to disturb what's there.
Thanks!
