Re: Block foundation transition
First, ACI 530 requires that face shells be fully bedded. That is not possible unless that course of the larger block is fully grouted or solid.
Second, there is a steel rebar in there, so I suspect it was intended to be grouted, but they probably ran out of grout, said ' I'll get it when the next truck comes for the lintels. ' and promptly forgot about it.
The only thing supporting the face shells of the smaller block are the webs for the larger block, and that ain't good at all.
