MG TD TF 1500 - TD master cylinder castings

I have the master cylinder that came off the car (not sure if original to the car), and the casting/machining is different compared to the available replacement masters. So, I am considering getting this one cleaned up for the sake of originality but would like to understand what the difference is. I've attached two pictures, one of master that came off the car, and one of the master cylinders available to purchase which feature a port/large cap on the front which mine does not have at all.

I think the port on the new master cylinder is there for manufacturing purposes. I wondered why(?) the port was there and came up with no good reason for it.

It is a drain plug- as shown in the workshop manual pages M2 and M3.
