[Farmall] New Manifold for 1949H

*I found the painted manifold at farmallparts.com.  It appeared to me that
the cheaper one, the unpainted one, might not be cast iron.  What do you
think?   I'm also curious, and a little concerned, about the slots cut
through the flange bolt holes in the cheaper one.  For heat expansion
perhaps?  I didn't think casting expands/contracts with changes in
temperature.  Below are the photo links again.*
