I know how to set up driveline angles & phasing, not a problem, just trying to figure out the correct configuration
Since I have the slip joint on the rear shaft it seems reasonable to use the fixed yoke on the trans...I think?
It sounds like that's not how they were from the factory though?
I'd kinda like to replicate the factory setup if possible. On the other hand, easy is good.

Its the same price for either trans yoke, I just need to tell the transmission builder which one I want.

The factory setup had a slip yoke on front and rear driveshaft?

The SM465 2WD transmissions used a fixed yoke on the output shaft. That required a slip joint on the final drive shaft. The pillow block carrier is the heavier duty carrier bearing. This was indeed a factory set up for the heavier duty C/20's and C/30's. My 71 C/30 has that exact set up except with a NP435... Many of the 1-tons with 400THM transmissions had bolt on yokes behind drive line E-brake units like this one shown.
