Has anyone worked with a 1950's slab system that calls for a 2" concrete on WWF lath and fireprofing?

what does it mean "owsj"?, what is a V-rib form like?
Later renovations indicate a 2" conc slab and corrugated deck instead of a a 2" concrete on WWF lath and fireprofing as existing slab
 
open web steel joist = "owsj"

On a 24" span, sounds like it might be formdeck with a concrete infill for the 2" depth.

Formdeck, at 1/2" to 1" deep, is not structural but for use as a permanent form only, and it is non-composite.
