Agreed with above. the gearset is usable as a complete set but no interchangeability with anything else. It is virtually impossible to use that gearset for a closed drive conversion too.
If you want to use it in an f1 and it is in good condition you're good to go.

To my eyes the gears have a more "pointy" appearance to them and if you look carefully there is a difference in the helix angle on the gears. This results in a difference to the helix angle on the shaft and also don't forget the reverse idler and the 1st/reverse synchro sleeve.
