Those are the OEM filters as equipped from the factory. Shops like that sweat every minute detail when it comes to those restorations. They will have at least one guy dedicated to doing research on each car’s history so the restoration is accurate.

Changing the oil filters isn’t too messy-- just unscrew them a little to let the oil drain back into the housing and a rag will catch the rest.
