I don't know about the euro cars but i suspect some may have had 224 gears if a v8 and prolly 354 if a six. that looks to be a three speed gearbox with fairly tall gears judging by the hash marks.
Only the 560 (and perhaps some euros?) had 2.47:1... Other ratios for earlier years... as posted by HTOWN
