Doc,
Here are two parts catalog pages. Plate 4 is for the older style with the bolted together bottom, and Plate 5 is the newer style. Notice both feature the diaphragm plates at the bottom that go back to the mud ring. On the newer version, if you look carefully, you can see the flange bolts at the top of the steam manifold.
Somewhere I have a Lima blueprint of a three cylinder manifold , but it might take me some work to find it, and then get it scanned.
