The early 5.9 CR blocks, with the casting number 3953350, came with a main cap that was machined for the lower thrust bearing.
I have yet to see one with the lower thrust bearing in place, however.
As far as missing the tang, chances are that Cummins figured the upper bearing tang would retain both from spinning, but who knows for sure, with the way engineers think.
Mark.
