Sumps.
The top two are truck style sumps as they have the removable flywheel cover to suit the 12" clutch. You can see the sump top right doesn't have the road draft tube triangular hole so it a late war Canadian item where a positive crank case ventilation system was employed. All very nice.

The PCV system (without the draught tube) was called the 42 engine, at least in the Australian manuals.
The first and last pictures of the heads show the 21 stud British made heads.

Radek photograph the decks (the bits the heads bolt
Down onto, and also the sump rail from underneath )

It will help ID the engines
