Is there a specific 'code' for the 2 different gearboxes? There are numbers near the BE3 stamp, but I wondered which was which.

if youre lucky youll find a metallic sticker just above the diff cover on the rear face, cant remember the codes offhand though.

 

not sure when they started stamping/engraving tge codes on

I'd ingore any of them, I;ve done hundres of conversions in different case's and no doubt others have too, Whip the Diff cover off and check the teeth

Whip the Diff cover off and check the teeth

Or read the number stamped into the crown wheel to find out what the final drive is & just hope the box hasn't been modified.
