Don't believe everything you read in a Haynes manual, especially when they
pertain to the years 1961-1981!
The Moss catalog MGL7200 that I picked up at Gaycon shows a cover, front seal
scroll type and a front cover oil seal type. Page 25, Esternal Gearbox 1500
single rail page. So perhaps you have the scroll type (rifled slinger). I
thought they went out with the 4-speed synchro boxes!
It turns out that transition was at comm # UKC7933 (From gearbox FR33415).
You can probably get the oil seal item and install it.... or newer
bellhousing...
