Look'n at your pix Yer head gasket was not blown... I have no doubt it leaked but see no evidence it was blown...
If it were blown it would be extremely EZ to find,,, a visual test like I see water in the hole no compression test needed....
It LEAKED,,, My bet at the upper end are at the highest compression point that is why a compression test are a leak down test may have never found it.... The lost would have been minimal (if at all) you would have considered the lost to be normal.... It would not have been a continuous leak (blown) it would only leak at TDC (highest point of compression) and then only for a nano second.... A pressure test may have been you only hope to nail it before you went guessing.... If you had continued to run it it would have blown,,,, the leakage would have burnt out the firing ring (seal)...
