Ive always thought that whilst the sand cast cases have poorer surface finish, they are far stronger and easier to repair. Generally there is more metal allowing helicoil or a stepped.stud or whatever.
The die cast cases are simple production engineering. Uses less metal, therefore cheaper. Lighter and harder to repair threads.
And at the end of the day, those inclusions are irrelevancies. They havnt hurt it, and its probalbly 90+ years old
