Do these pictures suggest only a blown intake gasket?

Hi,
Was the motor already broken-in, rings seated, have some mileage on it? Did you retorque the Intake post-install? They will settle at first, over a day two.
Determining whether the head gaskets are affected boils (no pun intended) down to performing a few tests.
IMO, #1) As it’s a large amount of coolant now in your oil, suggestion is to quickly eradicate it to preserve the Crank & Rod, Cam Bearings. Time increases the actions of the oxidizers inherent in glycol based coolant, glycolic acid, oxalic acid, formic acid & carbonic acid, pitting the clad surfaces of the bearing(s) lead/tin overlay, leading to accelerated failure. Will also begin to rust surfaces.
Absorb the mess in the valley, under covers with rags. The next is the cost of 2 oil changes, a small price to pay.
Dump oil/pull filter, add new detergent Oil/OE filter & spin the pump drive with a hex socket extension on a drill while slowly rotating the Crank a few degrees, dump that oil/filter & replace.
Troubleshoot the once you do the above, it will require rotating the motor, don’t want to do that at this point.
How hot did the motor get before this occurred? (Gauge will be inaccurate if not immersed in coolant as levels dropped).
Good luck
The engine was put in the car over 10 years ago, but rarely driven since. I appreciate your suggestions. Very good advice.
