Now that a kind lister has sent me an oil pan for my 1275, I can see 
what the differences are.
The one I received is NOT for a 1275 but it fits a 1098 perfectly.
The rear main cap is larger on a 1275 so the early pans do not fit no 
matter how big a hammer you use ;)
But now that I have a perffed 1275 and a 1098 pan to compare, I can 
easily see how to distinguish the difference.
The 1098 (may also be true for a 948) pan has a ridge along the top 
where the gasket goes, a definite raised ridge around the pan.
The 1275 pan has no ridge but it does have a waffle pattern stamped 
along the gasket surface.
