My tranny has the rubber gaskets for looking in on the outside driver's side. I don't see any bolt on pto covers...
Sorry I'm fairly new to tranny stuff. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge, guys.

That was my first tranny work.

Any clues to telling the difference?
This is that 'grey area' with the light duty F250's and the heavy duty F250's. The light duty ones came w/ the 5.0 and the Mazda trans, just like a Bronco/F150. The heavy duty F250's came w/ the 5.8 and the ZF transmissions.

The zf's have a tag on the left side, I believe. Should say ZF5 SF42 or SF47. Heres a picture: ZF S5-42 Standard ( Manual )Transmission Parts and Diagram

And my F250 has the inline 6... Like I said-- Frankenstein.

From the sticker, it looks like my factory tires were 215/85/16 (30.4"), which is a little closer to these potential tires, and my gear ratio is 3.55. Is that better for the potential change in tires, or worse than 4:10?

I take it the "M" tranny code means the M5OD, too?

I guess I just have a weird F250...
