No, there is no gasket there. Any oil in the bellhousing will have escaped
past a defective rear main and/or front transmission seal.
And you guys aren't finding marks on the flywheels because they are neutral
balanced - and if they weren't to start with (MG had pretty wide
variations as far as balance is concerned) they will be after the balancing
has been
done. No particular orientation vis a vis the crankshaft is necessary.

Another question: should there have been a gasket between the transmission
and engine? I had a fair bit of oil inside my bell housing, there was
nothing to act as a gasket? Would a very thing film of silicone be in order?
