Which Ford gearbox is this?
 
What box?
Supposed to be out of a Sierra 1.8TD and the guy told me it was an MT75 5-speed. I thought MT75 had an alloy casing...
Any help appreciated as I want to buy the bellhousing for an XE to suit and thought this was a type 9...
Thanks in advance...

fitted to the petrol engined cars?

This shows ratios and it seems it has a different input shaft spline so the usual clutch for tyoe 9 may not work.

Not input spline but input shaft gear (on the end inside the gear casing)
All type 9 input splines are 1" 23 spline
I know this because I swapped a 4 speed type 9 for a V6 type 9
Desiel Type 9's usually have shorter gears
Type 9 (P100 HD)
1st 3.91
2nd 2.29
3rd 1.38
4th 1
5th 0.82
There is a T9 diesel box too, but I'm unsure of those specs (I'd imagen its something like the
P100 box) I do know it has stronger bearings and a 0.75 5th
The diff however is usually longer 3.36, 3.14

If it's from a turbo diesel then it'll have the same ratios as a standard type 9 (3.65:1 1st gear, 1.97:1 2nd). But the input shaft is
longer so you'll need to cut a bit off or use a spacer plate.

Cut a bit off the end and in all probability the splined part of the input shaft will touch the crank/flywheel as you bolt the gearbox on. This will
then put pressure on the engine thrust bearings and the gearbox input shaft bearings.
It happened to a mate of mine, bought the wrong gearbox and simply cut the input shaft with a grinder. Worked OK for a few months then a big bang. He
brought me the engine to look at and what a mess. The crank had broken and No. 3 main bearing casting had snapped out of the block, total write
off.
All it cost him was a new engine and an SPC Type 9 gearbox with sensible ratios. He got a bit of change out of £3000 but not much.
Last time he will do that.
