Unless there is some part of the case missing, am thinking from the looks of the core placements you are working with the Dual Stream heater that was usually positioned under the front seat rather than the one located in the middle of the rear floor.
In the Dual Streams the air is pulled in from the center by the fan and then forced out the two cores to the front and back seat areas. Can't say how the air flow goes in the one located in the rear floor but would assume somehow both return and outlet are located in the same grill. To me it would seem unlikely the fan pulls air thru the cores openly from outside air under the car and then expels it into the interior hence the question of maybe something is missing if that is the floor heater.
No idea when Dual Streams were introduced but here are photos of the Clipper unit and install. I do not have a 40 accessory folder but there is a photo of the conventional body install in the 41 accessory folder. The photo is of very poor quality so didn't want to post that one but you can download it from the site if you want to view the install. Heater was mounted on the drivers side in Clippers and the passenger side on conventional bodies. The floor heater illustration is out of the 39 accessory folder and I believe is the one you are looking for. No idea what the underside of that one looks like.
