This certainly seems to be the reason that my engine slopes downwards towards the back of the car.

Very likely. However assuming that the original rubber in mine was killed by the heat, then any car of a similar age will have suffered the same conditions and is just as likely to have them in similar condition. Rubber doesn't last well in this climate.
