I can't really tell with the photos. They should all have the 1-inch 10-spline input but they have different gear teeth than the 49 thru 50 and early 1951. The front bolt up pattern is the same narrow 4-bolt Borg Warner pattern that was used a lot during the late 40s clear up the the early 60s. The early T-10 4-speed even has that pattern.
The forks don't bent easy but they can get that way during an internal failure or under harsh use.

So if I can swap the side cover From the 50 trans to this newer transmission It should work? It looks like rear mount is in the same place and if the bolt pattern for the bell housing is the same
