On the Aussie 4 bolt main truck block that was used in NASCAR, the area
above the pan rail, on the inside of the block, was a uniform thickness.
 On other blocks, this area is thick only near the bolt bosses.

Straight pan rails vs. scalloped pan rails?  Are you implying that the
pan
rails on the good block doesn't bulge out around the oil pump near the
front
of the block?  Or does this mean something else??
