Got it that time. I've seen those on a lot of engines, mostly
all oil and grease soaked and falling apart. I've also seem
a more engines that did not have them.
The parts books list no less than nine part numbers over the
years. Odd as it may seem, the boot is listed in the 30's
parts books, but then the group is missing during the Advance
Design years and shows up again in 1955 and later books.
There is another gap between 1957 and 1960 when they show up
again thru 1969 as 'black rubber'.
Here are more examples with more part numbers:
