No, unfortunately. All that Hassan says is:
Quote
The block, shown on PI. VI B measures 1*75 X 027 m. and is probably from the southern
wall of the causeway, as the largest figure of the King faces in that direction.
This block bears part of two scenes connected with the Heb-sed Feast. On the right is
seen a small figure of Khufu, clad in the characteristic ceremonial cloak (*) worn in this ceremony
and enthroned in a kiosk. In one hand he holds the flail, and the other hand rests upon his
lap. Unfortunately the head of the figure is lacking. In front of the King are traces of
a vertical inscription ...
On the left-hand side of the block was another and larger scene. Near the centre may be
seen the remains of a large head of Khufu, wearing a peculiar form of head-dress, rarely seen
on the monuments. It was apparently a special form of the ncmes, and was worn for the
performance of certain ceremonies. It occurs among the fragmentary reliefs from the Solartemple of Neuserra1
at Abusir. Behind the head of the King may be seen the lower part of
his cartouche. ...
