That fill tube would be sealed and there would be a PCV valve in it. Those pics are huge on my screen; maybe you could re-size them?

No, that's not how it was from the factory. A hose went from the fitting at the back of the engine to a PCV valve that screws into the base of the carb. The oil tube supplies the fresh air. OP has the right idea
