[Healeys] One of these things is not like the other!

The smaller top units are fitted to absorb rotational action when the
engine tries to rotate during acceleration or de-acceleration in gear.
There is a clearance measurement to be set up by adding or removing shims
in the workshop manual. I presume that the designers thought this necessary
to contain the engine and gearbox from rotating too far. With so many pipes
and cables needing to flex if the engine move too far it might cause damage.

Best regards
