This particular printing block (here mirrored) is for vol. 5 of the Tangut translation the "Shi moheyan lun" 釋摩訶衍論 (attributed to Nāgārjuna, but only extant in Chinese). As far as I know the Tangut translation only survives in the printing block fragments from Hongfo Pagoda.
This evening I spent a quiet couple of hours attempting to transcribe the Tangut text on this woodblock, and approximately match it against the corresponding Chinese text of 釋摩訶衍論 (T1668).
Here are some more typical-sized fragments of Tangut wooden printing blocks (photo taken by me at the old Xixia Museum in Yinchuan; no provenance given but probably also from Hongfo Pagoda)
