can you take a piece of wire and see if the openings at the ends of the round HP valve chest (1) are linked to the ones at the ends of the LP chest. (2)

If they are linked then that is how the exhaust steam from the HP cylinder gets to the LP chest via cored in passages around the side of the LP chest. It's a bit of a long route but would have acted as a bit of a reciever.

I also wonder if the two valve rods are original as they are just plain rods so no means to adjust the valves by nuts. Maybe a previous owner started working on the engihe and only got so far. Or did someone take it apart and start restoring it, making new valve rods but did not finish them.

Most of those shots with the wire are as I would have expected. It is what links the round piston valve chamber to the slide valve chamber that would be good to know. You might have to poke it in from either end and just get an idea of where it is going as the wire may not bend all the way round. Then measurements can be taken to sort out what needs to be made.

I thought perhaps the end covers could form the passage between the Piston valve and the slide valve? But not seen any evidence either way.

From the images in the first post there is not much thickness (maybe 1/8") to the end cover so unlikely and would still leave the question of what the slots are for.
