I was focused on the grooves.

That's the reverse idler gear . 38 coupe was referring to the 1st/reverse sliding gear that meshes with the cluster gear.

The reverse idler gear only sees action on one side, as the 1st/reverse gear slides back to engage with the reverse idler gear to reverse rotation of the output shaft.

PS....unless you already have a copy, I would recommend that you purchase a copy of Mac VanPelt's transmission book. It will tell you most everything you need to know about these early Ford 3 speed transmissions.
