in the last two photos that BDeb posted, the shape of the arms look like they are the rear arms, not the front

Because it is fairly straight, he used a 51-4 arm for clarity to only show the difference in shaft indexing. I have no idea how you would tell the difference between the different senior trans. As near as I can tell from the parts manual there is at least 3 OD trans which should fit the senior car -- the original 42-47, the original 48 with R9 and the 48-50 with the R11. There is also a transmission assy to be used when converting an R9 to an R11. No idea if that was a different trans or just more pieces in a kit.

I can only see one number on the trans visible from the bottom where I can access. There is a casting number on the side just behind the clutch fork. Mine appears to be 387580 but doubtful it will be of much use in actually identifying what you have.
