The GM 4 speeds will be broadly the same, with small variations like clutch/bellhousings, input lengths, spline counts, output shaft types and ancillaries such as handbrake locations.

There may be a chance that the box is identical to a Blitz, but more likely to be similar with interchangeable parts. The only way to tell is to have the two boxes on a bench side by side, or to have the PROPER parts books and compare part numbers.

Thanks Tony succinct as always. Much appreciated as it is very helpful.
To Cliff & Rusty thanks fellahs also.

Had a Gecko climb out from under the valve train when I took the rocker cover off. So Im off to a wreckers to look for a replacement engine.
