Look a bit higher up, on the flat piece below the side plate, next to where the distributor goes into the block, the number should be there

BLOK - If I'm not mistaken H138 indicates that this block casting was poured on August 13th 1958. H being the 8th letter of the alphabet refers to the 8th month, while 13 is the day in August it was poured and of course 8 is short for 1958.
