OD plate says it is a 22/1374/017056. According to the Moss
catalog this was not a TR2-TR4 unit. The 22/1374 is the model
and the 017056 is the serial number. Moss says the model number
should be 22/61374, 22/61712 or 22/61753. It looks like the TR4
OD and gearbox in every detail. I measured the mount holes and
all that. Haven't opened it up to check for synchro in 1st. I
only paid $150 for it... so it was bought on the speculation that
I could use it.

I just looked at an OD unit that came out of a TR4, and it also says 22/1374.
I don't think you will have any problems with this OD.
It also does not have the top cover drilled for the little
switches and instead has the solenoid wire through some roller
micro switches attached to a bracket that looks like it mounts to
a steering column or something. I could not find the standard
column switch in the parts boxes in the time I had available
today

I don't know what all that wiring is from either, but it doesn't really
matter. You don't use any of it anyway. You could probably find a used OD top
cover, or you can drill and tap the holes. Details in the Bentley manual.
You'll need the column OD switch, the OD relay, and at least one isolator
switch. I think you can buy the OD wire harness from the big 3.
If you don't have a Bentley, let me know and I'll scan it for you.
Michael Ferguson can give you details on testing the thing out before you
install the tranny in your car.
Don't you wish you had done this when you had your car all apart? ;-)
Congrats on the find.
