On a dual exhaust setup on the HT, was there a different gearbox cross member, being shaped the same on passenger and driver sides to provide exhaust pipe clearance?
I have a couple of supports in my collection and they are different shape between the driver and passenger side. On the leading (front) "return" edge of the support, the passenger side is shaped to provide exhaust pipe clearance whereas the driver's side has a straight edge which is very close to my exhaust pipe. (A picture would clarify what I mean, but I don't know how to insert one).

The basic gearbox support pressing is similar for most versions. It is modified in several ways to support different height rear gearbox mounts, gearshifts, handbrake pivot lengths etc.
The hump on the passenger side of the support pressing clears the intermediate pipe on 6 cylinder and V8 single systems, which pass underneath the support.
The dual system engine pipes are splayed outside the support on both sides and mostly don't travel underneath it.
There are 10 versions of gearbox support for RHD HT (and 20 versions if you count pre and post January 1970 versions). I've seen and measured all the variants and I don't think any have an additional clearance hump on the drivers side.
