Can someone ID this?

I am trying to find out what this truck came with. It is a 1988 F-250, 2wd, EFI 6 cylinder, with what looks to be a M5OD R2. It has no PTO covers. I have read numerous threads and different sites that say that they did not put a M5OD in an F-250. It is possible that it was replaced. Any ID would help. This is the door sticker in the jamb.

This is the truck.

It's a light duty F250 (6600 lb. GVWR), so that should be the correct transmission. I think the transmission code for the ZF is a 'Z' instead of the 'M' shown in the picture.

2000lbs, the light duty has a GVWR of 6600#, the heavy duty 8600#.

2 or 4 wheel drive doesn't matter, both are available in either rating.
