"Aussie" 351C thicker-block recognition ?

Apart from weighing the blocks, how can one tell if its an Aussie block or not? Ford's Perfomance Book talks about XK engine No.s but nowhere on any of my blocks is this evident.Are the X's & Y's cast into the inlet-manifold "valley" on each side anything to go by? Reg.paper says eng. No.TPE1312.-- One blk. has D2AE-CA cast into it & has 2F14 cast below.The other blk. also has D2AE-CA & with what looks like 3H7C stamped on the other side of the blk. Thks. for any help /advice other than weighing them.The blk. with 3H7C stamped is a 4-bolt mains and the other a 2-bolt, although I know this has nothing to do with the Aussie blks.which come in 2 & 4 bolt.
