I pulled apart the diverter block which provides hydraulic pressure to my loader control valve. Photos are below. It looks like fluid simply comes into the bottom of the block, is diverted out the lower hole, returns via the upper hole and continues onward toward the 3PT hitch. I thought there might be a "tunnel" connecting the lower orifice with the upper one (which didn't make much sense to me) but upon inspection what appeared to be a connecting tunnel turned out to simply be the impression/dimple made by the drill that created the hole in the bottom/top for the rigid lines to connect to the box. I'm not sure that shows up in the photo. The side with the flex lines is pretty simple. It's just a plate with holes in it to which flex lines can be connected. In fact, the whole thing is very simple.
Sorry the photos are great. It was raining and pretty overcast so there's wasn't a lot of light to work with. Not to mention my camera/phone was getting rained on.

Not that I could find. There are dimples there but I tried (gently) to push a zip-tie through from one dimple to the other. It just folded up in my hand. That piece is mounted on the tractor so it's difficult to get a great view of it.

That's what I was thinking. Unless I missed something in the way this is designed or the "channel" between the two port could have been too small for my zip-tie. This diverter block makes sense for a loader install; basically the FEL valve is in series ahead of the rear 3PT lift. I don't see how it could work if there were a channel between the two ports AND the loader.

I'm puzzled too. The only thing I can think of is they sell two different covers for that block, and the non-loader cover has internal pass-through passages. 
I don't think the loader/non-loader blocks are different, because the block is brazed to the hard line and looks permanent. Just different covers depending on intended application.
My block cover is thicker than Wooly's, and the ports are on the edges of the cover instead of its face. His cover was likely a later OEM version, or was supplied in the loader-install kit.

I agree with everyone's thinking. Since half the block is welded in there must surely be different top halves for additions. I just sort of had in my mind there might be a removable plug in there somewhere much like my old 2002d had.

@California- Your hoses attach to the "front" portion of the block no?
The location where my flex hoses attach to the front block line up directly across from the holes in the 'rear' block. There's a clear passage way from each orifice in the 'rear' block to the adjacent fixed line. This arrangement makes sense to me. Pressure comes in the bottom runs out to the loader, returns and continues on up the line. If one were to remove the loader and replace the 'front' face it could have a small channel milled into it, but I would think it'd need an o-ring or gasket to hold pressure.
