A bare aluminum pan will transfer heat to the air better than a cast iron pan. This will slightly reduce the oil temp. I doubt the difference is enough to matter.
The aluminum pan was likely a manufacturing cost savings.
I don't know how true this is but, some of the reasons for switching to aluminum were manufacturing costs and the cost of meeting pollution standards for cast iron at the time. So, then came aluminum rear ends, and more.
Sorry, I believe the flat pan (flat bottom that comes up roughly a 1/2") is for the 10 horse that uses the short dipper, the half, half moon pan is used with the 12/14 hp engines w/the long dipper. "I" would not recommend cutting off a dipper.
