Comparing water pump on my 1961 engine block with incisor's photos above: Obviously not original, having thick dark green paint on it. Does not have numbers on casting or the slotted hole on opposite side, which I presume is where generator belt tightener bolt would go. On mine, same uses next bolt hole anticlockwise.
Maybe someone should comment here as to what else needs to be changed so later water pump could be used on an early motor if original type is unavailable. Maybe the whole timing case, which also incorporates water pump housing. Or can the existing case can be modified to allow later pump to fit properly.
