Default Oil pan gasket 'notch'

In the process of installing an Aviaid 6qt oil pan on my 351W to replace the 9qt. oil pan that came with the Ford racing motor. I have two gaskets shown side by side, one of which (Milodon) that has a notch on the driver's side towards the rear of the motor and the other (Fel Pro) that doesn't. Looking at the block, there appears what I believe is some sort of return passage that aligns with the notch in the gasket. Whats more, I also notice that on the 9 qt pan, there is a slight 'bulge' on the side of the pan near the rail whereas on the Aviaid pan, there is no bulge.

What exactly is this passage in the block? Is it a problem that the Aviaid pan doesn't have this small 'bulge'?

Depending on the block, it could be a dipstick hole.

Confirmed. You are correct. I just reached up and felt the plugged hole in the block for where the dipstick would go.
