All the rods are poured?

Those rod bearings are flanged on both sides to provide proper clearance to the crank cheeks and they have never been plentiful and even as far back as the the 80s outright challenging to find. Perhaps a rebuilder of your engine, unable to find bearings, used 1934 or earlier rods and reverted back to poured bearings?

Stranger things have been found when opening up old engines.
