That's definitely a doweled bearing. The other type would have a notch and tab setup like the attached. (This is a rod cap, but the mains are set up the same way.) If everything else is the same dimensions, a notch could be cut in the block and caps and the tab type bearings used. Might take some head-scratching to figure out.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
