Is it true the Orion is the oldest Mech chassis in MWO currently?

Looking for expert advice on which Mech is the oldest in production on MWO!

Do you mean in the lore, or in the order of which mechs were released in MWO?

Oldest in the game, or the whole series all together?

The Orion started production in 2456. The Banshee began in 2445.

If it's lore, it seems like the Banshee (2445).
After comes the
Orion (2456)
Shadow Hawk (2457, recalled due to armor issues and reintroduced almost 100 years later)
Commando (2463)
Thunderbolt (2491)
Griffin (2492).

Of course, those are mostly prototype versions and have since been revised to the Succession War versions we know, but there some of the first MWO mechs to show up in the lore.

I thought Locust was one of the first mechs produced. Also stinger and wasp, but those not in game yet.
