Does anyone know if all the slimline models had a plate welded in between the battery case and the oil tank, complete with a hole for the carb' air cleaner, thanks

I have a '62 single carb Atlas. The space between the oil tank and battery case is filled by the metal outer case of a Volkes (manufacturer) air filter. Norvil may still list a reproduction of this filter. Can try to post a pix if that would be helpful.

Correction, it's a Vokes air filter, not Volkes. I misspelled the name in my original response.
 
My 62 build Atlas does not.
However, there are two threaded inserts in the backside of the oil tank that is a mystery to me. Perhaps to fasten such a plate as you describe.

My original air cleaner fastened to the dual Amals without the need of any plate between the oil tank and battery box.
