Is this a gasket breach?

My 617.912 began to overheat, unexpectedly. Luckily, I only had to drive it 2 miles
back to the barn.

Tore out the water pump, but it was fine. So the engine had to come out.

I split the head last night, expecting I'd be able to find a breach, somewhere. Here
are the pictures. The yellow highlights point to my suspected leak. The threaded
boss in the block has rust at the location, unlike any other boss.

What think all? I plan to inspect the head for warp over the weekend.
