Default 33 Rear Main Leak

Hello. I have a 1933 Fordor that is leaking/pouring out a significant amount of oil out of the rear when running. I read a lot about the rear main leak on early motors. I first drained the oil and filled it with 4 quarts. The leak seemed to continue to be constant. I then dropped the oil pan to inspect the cork gasket, determine if there was possible sludge in the oil pan and to see whether the rear main bearing had a tube. After dropping the pan, I can see that the cork was present and there is a tube coming off the rear main. I have a few questions that I was hoping someone could help answer. First, is the tube in the attached photo correct? Second, does the block look correct for '33? I am wondering whether the hole the bottom-front-left of the block is correct? I also want to make sure I have the correct oil pan for this block (the oil pan I have is from a '33-34). Third, is there anything else I should be checking? Any ideas/help would be greatly appreciated.
