Did the pre-V2 Church also "bears the Mark of The Nazarene"?

In its teaching, yes. In its externals, no, unless you can find in the Gospels where Jesus wore gold.

We progress. You reject as UNCHRISTIAN the EXTERNALS of the Pre-V2 Catholic Church?

Perhaps you have forgotten the following:

[1] Jesus therefore, six days before the pasch, came to Bethania, where Lazarus had been dead,
 whom Jesus raised to life.
[2] And they made him a supper there: and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that were at table 
with him.
[3] Mary therefore took a pound of ointment of right spikenard, of great price, and anointed 
the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
[4] Then one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, he that was about to betray him, said:
[5] Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
[6] Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor; 
but because he was a thief, and having the purse, carried the things that were put therein.
[7] Jesus therefore said: Let her alone, that she may keep it against the day of my burial.
[8] For the poor you have always with you; but me you have not always.

[Antoninus]

In its externals, no, unless you can find in the Gospels where Jesus wore gold.

Perhaps not gold, but...

Now when Jesus was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, a woman came up to him with an alabaster of precious ointment, and she poured it on his head, as he reclined at table. But when the disciples saw this, they were indignant, and said, "To what purpose is this waste? For this might have been sold for much and given to the poor."

But Jesus, perceiving it, said to them, "Why do you trouble the woman? She has done me a good turn. For the poor you will have always with you, but you do not always have me. For in pouring this ointment on my body, she has done it for my burial. Amen I say to you, wherever in the whole world the gospel is preached, this also that she has done shall be told in memory of her."

Matthew 26:6-13
