Yes, block is on the cover as shown in this photo from trans training manual. Second photo is one of the first articles published in 1943 on the loose bolt problem. Same trans was used post war and IIRC there was another article or two in the 46-50 years reminding mechanics to check the block if there were certain trans or shifting problems.

Just looking at the wear on the block and the fork arrangement any chance the entire fork is twisted from the top and not just bent on one side. I don't believe there is much slop possible in the cover but is there enough it could be sitting on the trans slightly crooked.
