Thanks to everyone who contributed advice, technical articles, etc. I still can't claim to be the world's expert, but I now feel like I'm a fairly well-informed buyer and have made my decision. I bought Phillips 66 ISO 460 Compounded Gear Oil. It's a non-EP compounded worm gear and steam cylinder lubricant. It was one of only a few with an ASTM D130 copper corrosion test rating of 1A. That appears to be the most important factor, to protect the gear from corrosion. Even though they all claim to be safe for non-ferrous alloys, nearly all of the other lubes, including Chevron Meropa, are rated 1B. Phillips also specifically states that this product is recommended for differentials on antique and classic cars. It's hard to find any of them in quantities less than a 400-lb barrel, but I was able to buy a 35-lb bucket online from Petroleum Service Company. And you don't have to be a distributor or company to order from them.
