Are you ready for this? We are talking standard transmission units here.
There were changes to series one box's during production and there were changes to series 2a ones as well.
Times the transmission remained the same were from Series one 86 models [1954] up to series 2a models until about the end of 1966.
I once had an early series 2 88 that had a series one box, only outside difference I remember was it had a dip stick on the side.
If asking for Lightweight 2a in your avatar then likely it has the 67-71 box that has different ratios.

The "A" suffix at the end of the stamped in number of the box denotes it is [any cast numbers are not serial numbers] an early one from the 54 to 66 period. The very early ones had the suffix near the gearstick position then later suffix is to be found on the off side near the transfer box.
When series 3 arrived Land rover went back to Suffix A, but now the number is on the transfer box just to confuse us all.
So where did you find your box's number?
