V8 oil Pump ID?

I opened up the 1955 marine V8 today. Curious if the oil pump is the standard Packard variety with a solid base or perhaps the Nash/Hudson version? The casting number on the side is 471083 and the number on the bottom plate 471007. Also notice the enlarged oil pan with a copper cooling coil and custom windage tray. I guestimate the capacity to be perhaps 3 gallons. After I clean it up I'll measure and post the results.
