Which factory Ford Flathead oil pan came with a windage tray?

Steve's favorite 8BA or series 3 oil pan is a factory Ford pan with a windage tray built into it, and he says it is the only one he knows of. He believes Mercury made it with the baffle in the bottom for only two years, 1950 and 1951 or 1951 and 1952; he says he cannot remember exactly.
