NOPE/no-way ! One pictured is corporate 64'-up , BOP, "2 rabbit ears". I don't have pic', must be one in the archives ? 215/rover is rounded shape, at the block, similar to Vega.

Re: Is this the bell housing I need?
Buick/Olds used a different bolt pattern on Buick 215 blocks, and Rover carried that design over. Use the search function on this site, and I expect you'll find pics and a few discussions about the difference between "3-speed" and "4-speed" GM 215 bellhousings. (A T5 will bolt directly to a 4-speed bell, but you'll need some sort of adapter or machine work to make a 3-speed bell work.)
D&D offers an aftermarket bellhousing. Trans Adapt used to offer this model: |

Re: Is this the bell housing I need?
The hole location just might be in the thicker tranny mount area, but not by much. Then, you get to cut out the fork window. All on a bellhousing that already costs a pretty penny.

Re: Is this the bell housing I need?
How much ? Hmmm, I have a casting, that will take a stick or auto, like C4 or AW od. I wish BV8 had a "store", like JHPS. hint ? Cheers, roverman.
