Lastly, the C1BA. My factory stock 52 mercury motor also says C1BA, but is a 52. However I have never seen a C0BA, or C8BA, or C3BA cast onto block. Do they exist?

1BA (drop the C) identifies the block as a 1951/ design. Unless there was a major change in CASTING, that number would have followed in succeeding years until a design change. You would ascertain the actual casting/model year by the DATE CASTING CODE.
