The "G-4" does have not a standard 605 A oil cooler housing. The shape of it are much more in line with the Erla G-10 model than MTT. My supposition, and that's all it is, being that the restorers/converters wanted to use a Fo 987 and still have more of a G-4 look than a MTT housing would provide.

That's my story, anyway.
