Alternator generally gives it away. Huge belt and pulleys means serp. Also, reverse position confirms the gearbox. Reverse to the left is the earlier LT77 box and back on the right is the T5. I think that all LT77 boxes are pre-serp engines.

Is the belt about an inch wide or half an inch? If it's the former it's a serp.

Serp is a wide belt, about an inch or so with around 4 'teeth' along it. Pre Serp is about a cm and a much more old fashioned v shape.
