I think the problem is (was) that they just looked like another ole timey radiator cap. Adding to the confusion is they sorta look like a model A part and therefore nearly worthless as model A parts were a dime (or less) a dozen back in the day. And as the time went on an the trucks died off than the caps went with them.
A friend of mine is a early flathead expert and a guru on 33 and 34 parts in that he has basically memorized the green bible for those years. I found a 32 commercial cap in one of his buckets of stuff that he was sorting for junk. He had no idea.
