Hi
The outer two bearing brackets were originally riveted to the chassis rails, but these may have been replaced with nuts and bolts.
The various shaft levers with cotter pins should come off, some alternating heat and cold plus penetrating oil and brute force ought to eventually do the trick.
If you can remove the shaft from the car it will make inspection and refurbishment easier. I appreciate that you still need to remove some of the components to be able to wangle the shaft through the hole in the central chassis member.
The centre bearing square plate should have its slot holes positioned at right angles to the slot holes in the chassis, to allow both up/down and fore/aft alignment when reassembling.
