I think actually the lower viscosity oil recommendation had to do with Laycocks
oil specifications for
their transmissions. They do not recommend the standard 70 to 90 weight gear
oils. I think they
recommend about a 50 weight gear oil or an equivalent weight motor oil. I can
try to dig this up
if you like.

That is likely to be expected in colder climes. I think it is why earlier cars
(TR3/4, etc) had recommendations of using engine oil in
the OD transmissions.
