I suspect that the answer to the "origin of the bulge" is that at some time
in the past a destructive event happened, everything was repaired, but the
bulging housing was re-used. At a time when these cars were less valuable than
today, and spare cases were pricey or scarce (or both), re-using a banged up
part - especially in a "hidden" location - wouldn't have been beyond the realm
of possibility.
