oil pan

Just picked up an early 289HP engine this weekend and I had a question that I thought might be answerable here.....? This engine has a stamped steel oil pan with "kick-outs". The pan looks a little like a Cobra pan, but steel! The side parts are braised on, not welded. Inside the pan is four (4) oval cut outs for each kick. Two high and two low. These are about 1.25" X 1/2" in size. No baffles.

Anyone here seen this before? Home spun job? Considered Shelby regulat trick? April 1963 engine!

Engine # starts on the first pad with a sideways "P" then a space and a "C". Second pad has the # 784. Don't know if this helps the I.D. or for everyone here. I sent pics to several members here so perhaps they could post them for me.......?
