I´m not 100% because I cant read the number, but it looks like it..
What is the cast number on the side?
RS500 road cars had H88HM6015BA
The RS500 replacement engines had 85HM6015BB
The regular 2wd block has bigger core plugs like this:

that was on ebay a few weeks ago, only issue I could see was the extra 3 holes in the block near the top on 2nd picture, not sure how they would be blocked off, also unsure why they are there. didn't get a single bid when listed.

It can be a race mod. I know that it has been done some research with a external coolant system with a extra el water pump that has circulated coolant trough the core plug holes for more stabile water temp.. so that is the only reason I can think off..
But I´m far from being an expert!

It wont have a YBD number as its not an original engine from an RS500 road car, its a replacement 500 block typically used by the race cars and these were not numbered, they were though given the designation YBF but this wont be stamped on it. These RS500 spec bare blocks had an extra web for the alternator mounting bracket and a few other tweeks. Looks as if its been coopers rung as well. probably a spare for a race car as it looks to have been prepped ready but does not appear to have been used.
It also looks as if slightly larger core plug holes have been machined into it as well as having the securing holes added.
Take a look in the water pump hole at the liner of bore number 1 it should taper, being thicker at the base and then thinning out as you go up.
