The crank is not drilled, I am hopeful this block can be used with these bearings, its a shame the crank has a little rust and some minor pitting, I think this one was stored outside for a while. I have a couple of cranks, perhaps one can be ground to fit. I only have a vernier, so I have ordered a micrometer so I can measure properly. The last picture of the rear-main almost looks like an insert.
The rods have a similar grove, but in the cap and rod.

Its got one x rod as well.

I have your book and have read it again while in isolation, a good read.
