I discussed this with a friendly oil geek some time ago.

His opinion was that a vintage car running a factory engine and not towing was unlikely to get EP oil hot enough in a bevel axle where it would attack yellow metal. His conclusion was therefore it mattered not a jot what oil you use, EP or not. 

I use compounded 460 bearing oil. Same as I use in the bearings of my steamers.
