Chris,

Both the starter and generator are the original versions.

The firewall is the non-early version and loaded up with non-original electrical system stuff on the left side.

The shorter of the two oil dipsticks is the original.

The left side engine splash pan did survive after all. The bump in the engine block casting that I thought might be there is not, so it had been eliminated by the time that block had been cast.

When you clean up the underside of the radiator cap you may (or may not) find the name "Eaton" stamped there. They manufactured the cap for Ford (and they are still in business making cooling system components).

In the minutia department, the front grease fitting on the water pump was replaced with the zerk type, possibly as soon as in 1933.
