Brief medical history:
The car was imported from S.A. in 1988 and I have an invoice from Barry Curtis dated december '88 for a full engine rebuild when the original crankcase, crankshaft, bearings, cylinders, pistons, valve guides, camshaft, distributor were all changed plus a load of other bits including gearbox mounts(cost £2297 back then!)
Then I have another invoice dated Feb 1994 from Roger Bray's where the original gearbox was exchanged for a secondhand unit (£1200)
Therefore non matching numbers car - but that doesnt bother me as the engine ID is period from 1958 as it should be, but would like to work out what the gearbox is

I know from its birth certificate it should have gearbox number 18760 in it but instead I have number 10575 (stamped along the bottom and near the starter motor opening on the bell housing). Trouble is I cant find any reference to this gearbox number in any of the books/references I have. It has dual mounts and the mushroom type breather
I've attached a couple of pics which aren't very clear, but the other numbers are:

2102 and 26 next to the VW stamp left of the transaxle

On this side looks like 113 301 102 next to the VW stamp right and below the mushroom, but it has really faded/corroded
On both sides of the case (under where the hoop attaches) is the number 870 other than that there are no other markings I can see

So, is this likely to be a 519 rather than the 644 it would have had - and if so how identified? - or is it a VW 'box? If so any ideas what/when from? or is it possible to mate the hockey stick/nose from a porsche unit to a VW???????
Either way I'm going to have to operate as I found these in the drain plug
