Rob, as you said, "oil" was a very flexible term. In Australia we even  
had petrol engines referred to as oil engines. It seems that any  
petroleum product fitted the bill.

Had a look at your above article. One think I am curious about is the  
inclusion of the Australian Jelbart in your photos. I say this because  
it was a spark ignition engine and the others, with the exception of  
the Blackstone, are all lamp start.
