MG TD TF 1500 - Still More Engine Numbers

My current restoration project is a 1954 mgtf, Car # HDC46/6059
Engine #XPAG/ TF 36029 , Body# 16564.
From the engine block, as yet ,not torn down, it appears the engine is
a replacement or other unit.The stamped number above the brass octagon
plate (near drain cock) is 5313 - does not agerr with 36029
Questions: The number at the generator mount is 24445 and on
the same plane at the rear of the block near the dipstick is an
inverted # 20L0 (Stand on head to read #)
These appear to be casting #s, but can anyone tell me if these
numbers relate to a specific car, year, or model?
Cheers Bill

According to Neil Cairns'reference, the 24445 block is "Later post war 1250cc MG block, octagon cast in, oval (water)holes". The 168421 is the later TD and TF block with no ocagon and round water jacket holes.
Seems you must have an early TD block ?

Bill,
Just sent you most recent copy of Jeff Payne's "TF List" and a link to the BMHT where you can get "build"
info on the car from.
Any other "TF'ers" out there not on the "list" I'm sure
Jeff would like to hear from you!
He has been doing a great job on this.
