Can you take and post additional pictures of your entire driveshaft unit, plus the bell assembly at the rear of the transmission?
I have a 1929-46 Chevy Master Parts Catalog and none of the diagrams for truck or car show a "welded" torque tube bell. It's supposed to be slid onto the main tube and held in place by a threaded collar with packing material to prevent leaks and allow for removal of the bell.
If there is a bearing (and possibly a seal behind the bearing) inside that tube, originally they would be locked into the main tube surrounding the drive shaft by a pin through the side of the shaft housing tube that is hidden underneath that bell assembly.
It may be the only way to proceed further is to grind off that weld to proceed further with bearing/seal replacement???
