does it have lift up reverse? (reverse next to 1st) or is reverse behind 5th?

If it doesnt its BE3

If it does then its BE 1

Sounds (very vague) like you've bought a be1 box then.

 

''Spigots'' as you cll them, or the input shafts aren't interchangeable, and on later be1 box's the clutch arms can be converted to your be3 type, but not all.

There are numer's on them all, will be BE1 & XU30 & BE3, also each case will have a date stamp on it.
