    Winterize

    None of that is factory. hose sizes jump all over with questionable connectors. looks like a 3.7 or 4.2 heat exchanger connected to a 3.0. that is an inline thermostat housing

    Water in exhaust manifolds

    your gauge is off. motor compression on a brand new motor is 150psi (its even in the manual) I assume the 3 steam cleaned plugs are from the same cylinders that the rusty plugs came out? perform a leakdown test and pressure test of the cooling jacket. doubt its head gaskets.

    Winterize

    looks like a half system (block and heads only) if so, then the exhaust manifold gets drained along with the tube side of the heat exchanger.
