Detroit 353 diesel -- aluminum block? How to tell?

So essentially the engine had a constant loss lubrication system which
was not unusual in that era. I have seen other horizontal semi diesel
engines of the same eras that had oil cups or drip oilers on both main
and connecting rods.

I was looking at a couple of multi cylinder marine steam engines last
week which dated from the late 1800s/early 1900s. They had oil cups
on the main bearings. Couldn't figure out how the rod bearings were
lubed if at all. Good thing they were slow turning.
