One thing in your photo strikes me as strange: It looks like there's a "step" in the cylinder head where the cylinder seats. Did these cylinders use a sealing ring there like the 36 hp heads, or have these heads been cut afterwards (or were they cut this way at the factory?)
I don't know, but there is a cutaway view of an early engine in the '61 Workshop Manual that appears to show the same step:
