Alloy rear guard = yes for all years.
The enclosure type guard tuned up as the Manx engine was not factory assembled with sealer (gasket goo) and just two gaskets. The enclosure guard helps deflect oil and keep the rear tyres less oily. BUT as you have what looks like a new engine oil shouldn't be an issue. In fact most oily rear tyres are caused by over filling the gearbox.
Quaife boxes are narrower across the mounts than AMC and need a spacer fitted. Laydown box (Burman) was fitted up to 1956 the AMC box fitted after till 62. Take a measurement on the laydown box from output bearing face to l/h gearbox mounting face. Do the same on the TT industries box and mill off the excess.
What's the small tab for on the frame, front right side top tube? The frame by the way is GP spec as it has fairing mounts on the headstock, these were an extra.
Q. Why not build the original engine?
Modern hard epoxy paints can be as thinly applied as wet paints and show cracks just like ordinary paint. Getting powder type coats off a frame isn't difficult as solvent strippers like Paramose will move it in minutes.
Good luck.
