Your Model is a 'SW6D'....Suburban 6 gallon Direct Ignition
No pilot flame, no electric..just propane only
Area AROUND the anode rod drain hole is allowing water to leak back behind drain pan (area you have marked "HERE")
Clean that area up with wire brush and seal with high temp caulking.
There is a 'fiber material' between drain pan and face of tank but can you can not replace ....best to just seal up area
The area you have marked with 'enternabond' is just the lip from face frame and control pan (drain pan). Control pan is fully formed/one piece to prevent leaks from exposure.
Face frame fits inside control pan and is sealed around edges next to side of rig.
