The wine U-Dot could be used to even out wet/dry conditions, but its stock surface was pretty aggressive at roughly 600 grit. That might be pretty early on lighter oils. It might be better at a smoother grit for light to medium-light oil. It's also at a slight disadvantage compared to today's manufactured urethane balls,only because it had a pancake core, which is not very dynamic but very controlled. Urethane coverstocks are already controlled on today's surfaces and oils.
The Super Trooper would be very different from the BG Centaur. The ST had a Super-Flex coverstock. When dull, SF is fairly aggressive, more so than the coverstock on the BGC. The ST's core, even though mild compared to most todays, has a very low RG. When polished it will go longer and rev up much sooner than the BGC which has a high RG of about 2.6
Make no mistake, the ST can be a control ball, especially with its very low RG differential. It will just behave differently from the BGC.Keep inmind that the faster your ball speed and the lower your rev rate, the less difference you will see between such balls.
(Personally I didn't recall the RG being as low and the RG differential being as small as this web site indicates, but I don't have any other reference on hand. I do recall that core shape.)
The Cuda/C Pearl would probably handle light to medium-light oil fairly well, Its coverstock is super mild compared to today's resins. I think it was a variant of Flexcel. If sanded, it might be better for medium-light oil.
