If the sector shaft housing is bolted to main casting with four bolts its 2 tooth. Seven tooth has sector shaft housing as part of main casting.

The 2 tooth box also has 4 adjustments that can be made, but, need to be made in order. That can be found in the Service Bulletins.
That grease fitting is common, but, the box should have heavy oil in it [ something similar to 600W or heavier] and not grease. Many old garages would use a grease gun full of the heavy oil for such purposes.
