side plate material

I was looking thru some prints and found a print dated 1930, listing the side plates as being a forging of SAE 1020.

I then found another print for side plates dated 8-8-47 and they are shown as being castings

I was wondering when they changed from forging side plates, to casting them.
also would the color case hardening process need to be altered for the material change?
Just curious what others thought on the subject.
Thanks
Gary
