Yes they are. Got grubby hands working on one last week.
If you took a section you'd have a cylinder every 52 degrees with one
block vertical,
they are "ganged" by herring bone gears on to one central pinion, all
five blocks are mounted on a central casting; think of it in terms of a
five cylinder _6 bank_ radial.

With 5 distributors, 5 coils and 5 carbs, I'll let you know how a valve
job and tune up goes. . . . . . . . . . . .
