If your still awake I have another 36 Austin Seven oiling chart with envelope, this time by Price's MOTORINE and it states "austin motor co recommend Motorine" . Interestingly Prices state gearbox oil capacity at 1.5 pints!
I think the Sternol Lubrication Chart picture is a direct lift from the Austin Motor Company Garage Chart with the clips from the rear and front axle and engine - similar to the earlier Publication 621 but with the later fittings.
There is a Sterns Lube Notes booklet from 1928 (see the A7CA Archive) which says Sternol is recommended by Austins - but the later (1931?) Chart above notes 'was recommended'.
The Vacuum Oil chassis is very poor showing a two spoked steering wheel among other anomalies. The copy of the booklet from 1929 doesn't say 'recommended by the Austin Motor Co'.
Interesting that Motorine does !! I would have thought the Castrol arrangement might have precluded this - maybe another deal with Motorine to supply a chart in an envelope with the cars.
"36 envelope same but yellow band,"
As did the 37 envelope.
