i believe the "unstamped" trans is probably a replacement unit, trans 2 and 3, as said above are the serial numbers(pre-VIN) of the cars the transmissions came from.

the serial numbers will tell you what year the cases are with some research, you should be able to idenetify the unstamped one by the shape of the trans case and the insides. also noted above the part number is not this number on top of the case but is under the rear bearing retainer/trans mount, probably under an inch of caked on grease and dirt and will take some elbow grease to figure it out
