the bottom 2 looks like transmissions fitted to 67 below vehicles, numbers don't usually mean anything, 4.375 RP, 113 gears, 8 bolt SA diff, dual drain hole case, early style TOB.

the first pic could mean an older transmission, 6 bolt SA diff, bent clutch hook, I could be wrong.

When you have a mid 60s swing axle with just a series of numbers on them, the higher the number means the later the gearbox.

Your last one, 3.55 million is from Dec 1960.  It should only be used for parts.  Don't invest money in it in the hopes of using it.  It is full of all the mistakes VW corrected in later years. Use the short axles and tubes in your project.

9.077 million is probably an early 67 trans. Could be a late 66.  Check to see if it's factory clearanced for 12V and has a 12V bushing in it.  If it's 12V, it will have taller 4.12 R&P gears, so it will be the one to use for the tanker project since the final car will weigh nothing, and you're going to put a big motor in it, right?

Your first one with only 5 digits is a mystery. I suspect it was misaligned when the number got stamped, and two digits fell off the left side of the pad.  Given that, the only way to know is to look for clues.  I think it's a pre '64 40hp trans like your core from the '61 above.  Does it have the curved arm for the clutch cable? 6V starter bushing?
The part number of the trans case above also gives a clue.  113.301.103 is the first version.  Same as your 61 trans.  Notice how your 67 trans is 113.301.103.C?
