Thank you - EverettB for the late-1957 -information

Does it have reduction gear boxes on the axles, Christian ?
if the tri rib '29#' shift cover with the low shift rod input is original to the gear case it means that it is a 1953 to 1955 synchromesh ( except first gear) genuine Barndoor unit.
also this front (nose) cover will not fit on an early (non synchro) split bug without heavy modifications. so chances are good that the whole transmission is late BD. oil filler plug says so as well.
the date code 7 6 25 makes it a June 7th of 2nd workshift 1955. which of course is not a Barndoor anymore. but its still an early Wolfsburg ( post BD) date, and these 1955 buses still had the old axle and transmission cradle like a BD.
so most probably this transmission is a straight fit for your 54BD, but originally came in a very early non BD 1955 Wolfsburg bus.

This is the part # of the casing.
Looks for a "2A-" serial number on the side, either near the nose cone or on a raised area a little behind the nose cone but on the side.
Example from earlier in this thread:

| Is the 2A stamping on the nose cone or on the gearbox casing ? I have found the following stamps on the nose cone 21.09.2 , I assume this is a part number, thanks |

the 21.*** is the cast part number on the nose cone.
you want to look for a stamped number on the case behind the nose cone .

On the side of the casing.
Maybe this is a better pic, also from page 1 of this thread:

On the VIN charts on the site, the last transmission # for 12/1954 is:
2A-380 323
So I think your transmission is from 1/1955 if it has 1 less digit, maybe its:
2A-382 207
