What year and what Trans this is? Sorry for the newbie question.
it kind of looks like the one in my 64 and heck for that matter the 68 too. you need to get the numbers off it including the suffix. folks here can tell you the year and problably the name of the guy wh assembled it
'64 Series IIA 88 Canvas Tilt
'68 Series IIA RHD Ambulance
'76 Spitfire 1500
'07 LR3 (Series Recovery Vehicle)
Looks like a late model IIa just like the one in my 71.

I'd guess it must be a pretty late IIA or a Series III. Saying that because it has the selector shaft adjuster (the circular thing at the bottom right of the transmission in your first shot). That means it has all helical gears in the transfer box which I BELIEVE would mean it couldn't be an earlier vintage (anyone confirm this?).
Scott is right, get the suffix. It's on the top of the transmission right by the flat square cover.
The fact that it doesn't have an overdrive suggests to me that it's pretty original, but really, who knows until you open it up.
1970 88 IIA
Not a III has the earlier clutch mechanism.
And not a early IIa as it doesn't have the cap on the shifter rod cover.
