Well Phil,
I know the box is virtually identical to that used on the WW2 Bedford trucks, but had forgotten how Chev put the level plug at the back. The British arm of GM had the level plug in the side so none of these dramas.
Bedford also redesigned the Chev 216 into the Bedford 28hp, which had full pressure lubrication to mains and big ends along with replaceable shell bearings ...... oh and no fibre cam gear either. All this before the first Chev CMP's went into production too!
