The old 30hp and 34hp to Jan '62 just had the flap valve and no other outlet,
but I think all the later ones have the same arrangement as the Type 3.  Those
old ones were notorious for leaking CO into the interior - nasty.

The old ones were steel pipes - I hadn't thought of the vent arrangement in
terms of melting (or softening) the aluminium casting, but it sounds possible in
extremes of heat.
