The later blocks had extra holes cast at the rear in order to install the gasketing system for the late M-38 and M-38A1 waterproof bell housings

Yes I have a late bellhousing, starter, engine plate and 129 tooth flywheel all of which I will put on the earlier engine.
Glad that is resolved. Thanks.
