Default Cast iron or aluminum rear?

What does it mean when someone asks if a tractor has a cast iron rear end?

On my 1811, its all aluminum (as tested with a magnet). Main housing, and axle tubes.

But on two different 782's I have seen they seemed to be cast iron (magnetic) housings, but aluminum axle tubes.

Is that normal? (I would have just said it was an anomaly but have two different tractors this way now...)
