Aviation maintenance student. Aircraft recip engines are similar to a car engine. You can tell from screw holes/lugs, as well as the different color that it's a oil area.
Also, over time the metal can magnetize under the right conditions, although all engine blocks are normally cast or molded aluminum. The main issue is there can be a sludge like buildup that can be produced over time, so anything it can grab it will. The engravings will give it a area to grab instead of settling along bottom or in oil filter.
Okay. Thanks for pointing it out. Like I said, aviation mechanic student, and that aviation recipe are similar to car recip engines. We got oil constantly flowing around, and got seals on everything, and normally we have oil in the accessory case, and I figured that's what was in picture given the lugs and such.
Thanks for respectfully correcting me
I was watching Monkey Werx the other day and he showed a really cool jet engine rendering. I learned a ton in just a few minutes about how jet engines work.
Y'all have to go to this site, museum of retrotech.com. it's maintained by a electrical engineer named Douglas self, who invented a lot of amps and audio equipment.
I too am a mechanic, and this site has a spherical engine, a dake square piston and thousands more like the deltic and more. You will thank me
I was thinking it looked like outer casing, but will defer to your apparently superior mechanical knowledge.

Respectfully, you are wrong. No oil in there. Look at the lower seal area. No drain to oil pan.
Respectfully.

Cool info.

Just found it. Start at the 15:30 mark:
