The ones I've seen were the bolted style, but it made cleaning the
strainer a real pain. I suspect that in the long run they did more
harm than good, because people would just drain the oil without
checking the strainer. (There was an opening in the center so you
could still remove the drain plug.)
VW deleted the center drain plug in '73, partly to save money, and
partly to "encourage" people to clean the strainer.
