Well, there's also the T444 with the SAE pattern.

I wouldn't mind a 7.3 and ZF-5 from a 2wd Ford.. that'd go nicely into my
Travelette. :D

Yep.

AFAIK, they're the same ( at least, if you're talking Loadstar 1600/1700
type stuff).

The 5spd directs had two flavors - a "wide" 5spd with a 7.x:1 low and some
fairly big splits, and a "close" 5spd that closely resembles a close ratio
T19 4spd (nice shifts) + a granny gear.

Then there's the OD, that you have, which resembles a wide ratio T19/T98
with an OD added on.  Big holes between gears (unless you have a Brownie
auxiliary, which I have lying around..)
