For the year on the motor, go by the serial number.
I actually thought it was a little remarkable to find your hea and block were cast a day apart from each other. It's not at all unusual to find a span of dates on a single, bare chassis covering four or five months. This has been explained in some cases as resulting from the need for some cast parts to age or cure before machining, but also sometimes had to do with something as simple as the timing of production runs for different parts.
It's not at all unusual to find bolt-on cast parts with later dates on them. On my BN which, by it's serial numbers, is an early '47 the castings on the basic chassis are dated with very late Ps ('46) and early Qs ('47). But things like wheels and weights are later in '47, so I shouldn't be at all surprised about the later csting date on your hydraulic block.
'47 or '48 in your case? You might try over at the Cub board. Good chance somebody over there could answer that question without havin' to speculate.
