It looks to be the correct one. Look at rivergate5speed.com for more info.

I think if you look, there is a "60" cast into the side as well..

It looks like the right one. Is the drain plug pointing directly towards the ground? Devin is correct, there should be a "60" cast into the side of the case. Also, The serial number should be stamped on the top of the bellhousing.....it should start with the letter F.

I asked again, but he hasn't replied again yet.
I'm supposed to meet him in 2 hours, but don't want to waste either of our time if it isn't right.
Does the location of the drain plug make that much difference to me since I already have a Datsun 4 speed trans bolted onto my Datsun A15 motor and it's all working in the car? BTW the drain plug is horizontal pointing toward the back on my 4 speed and it works just fine.

For you, I guess the drain plug really doesn't matter too much. The key things are the number 60 cast into the right side of the case and the serial number starting with the letter F. That would be the "correct" transmission to use.
Although, since you have the Datsun engine in your car any 5-speed from a 210 should work. The bolt patterns are the same and i believe the gear ratios are the same as well......it's just that the Spridget kit was designed for the 60 transmission. It probably doesn't make any difference for you or me (mine is a 60, FWIW).
Anyway, the 60 on the case is pretty easy to see, so this guy should have no trouble confirming that with you. The numbers are about 3" tall, so again, easy to spot.
Good luck.

Nice find Rick!
BTW..I have a brand new Borg Warner clutch kit as I was going to do the Morris Service kit, but ended up ordering Rivergate instead. ..but sounds like you don't need it!
Anyway..congrats! Christmas comes early in Snoqualmie...or late depending on how you look at it
