Good work, you sir are a jack of all trades and master of most everything! I’d clean it up with some 2000grit,copper coat both sides n send it. We used old ones repeatedly rebuilding them in the field back in the day. Never really remember having one fail.
Hard to believe people can run a engine with out oil in it. That engine must have made a racket . As far as the head gasket who would know better than you what to do .

In my eighty four years i have done some sketchy things , but i don't think i would use that head gasket .
I would not take the chance on using the rusty head gasket.
