Ron, the cam feed line was changed from the rear main to the oil filter block, probably some time in the 70s. It does not feed from the gallery but from the oil filter housing. They stopped drilling the old location. The new line is screwed into the top of the housing. It makes more sense to me, the oil does not have to pass through (past) a bearing before it gets to the cams. Cheaper machining, easier to fit as well.
The blanking plugs in the block are 1/2" UNF but the oil sender is I think 3/8 BSP, very similar but just over 1/2" and 19 TPI, I turned mine by using the alloy adaptor block from a series3 XJ6, the adapter to one of the blanking plug holes. you can see it in the picture, This is the series3 XJ6 3.4 engine going into my Mk2 saloon,
