Looking good. The only thing I wonder about is the color of the fan pulley. I think they are black.

That unknown item looks like it might be the check valve from crankcase vacuum pump so I think you are correct. Elbow into block and valve itself connects to the steel line to wiper balance valve. It is located on the passenger side of engine block about in the middle and just above the oil pan.

EDIT: Here is a decent photo of a 56 engine.https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=2041&cid=58
