I found two 19mm nuts on the left and one on the right hand side of my 58 Standard's tranny....but they are both below the "halfway point" of the case. Should I be looking for a different nut to add tranny fluid or is it one of these??----see pics below.

Looks correct although my SC is newer. The fill level is not half full. The input shaft seal may laek if oil was that high. When the gears are turning, oil is slinging around.

Split-case tranny = right hand side.

yeah, the fill plug is the one on the right (starter, passenger) side of the transmission.
the other two are the plugs that cover up the access to the shift fork adjusting nuts. no need to remove those unless you are rebuilding the transmission.
