I am fixing to install a cast iron version of one of the A833 transmission in my truck and there is no weld on either one of the two shifters I have. I was originally thinking the shifter was slipped in and then squeezed shut by a pressing operation, but now after seeing the information you posted, I'm thinking it is removable.
Unless I'm missing your point I think I already addressed this.

Incidentally, the guy that installed these shifters on the assembly line, as well as the M20 shifters, worked for me when I ran the Fender Set area. He also installed the cab running lights and the SPID label.
