LT77 Gearbox oil original spec?

[dw350i]

Can anyone post what recommended oil is printed on the tvr plate inside the engine bay. Details of year of car, rec oil and wedge model. Just interested to see at what point tvr changed from what to what?
1984 350i says Castrol hypoy light sae 80W gear oil.

The plate on my 1987 350i appears to be sponsered by 'Century Oils'. For the gearbox it reccomends 'CENTURY EP80, SAE 80W, EP 80 GEAR OIL'

Century oils stuff on mine ('87 probably built in '86) as well.
Have currently 75w95, used motor oil 15W40 as well, but will change to castrol smx next time.
