Default 37 Ford Engine ID from pics

Hi there,
Presently looking at a 37 Coupe on Hemmings. Just to confirm for engine visual from pics, It is of course 21 stud. Then water outlets and pumps are at front of cylinder heads? Or are they central outlet?
As engine on this car shows central outlet.
Appreciate assistance. Could be another car headed down under to NZ

Ken, Many thanks for confirmation. So this change for head configuration occurred 36 to 37. Just wanted to be sure getting a car with correct engine.

I have a 37 coupe heading down here from the USA as well as a 38 standard coupe.
The 37 is pictured in the latest NZ Rodder.
All original but needs complete restoration.
I also have another 37 coupe, and a 38 standard coupe from the USA here in my shed that I imported last year.
Both are coming along.
