Almost certainly not of marine origin. The manifolding could have been exchanged but the marines had a totally different oil pan (which could have also been changed I suppose) and a totally different front end timing chain cover and arrangement whereby the chain also drove a positive-displacement water pump on the front of the manifold side, similar to how the generator was driven in the early 385 and 320 engines.

Still awaiting a reply from Bob Neal about how White 55A engines were numbered, and if he has definitive proof of 23rd series 6-cylinder cars being produced. When I hear back, I'll post.
