1975 spitfire 1500 Model?

I just took a '75 Spitfire 1500 on a trade. Mostly complete but I'm new to these cars and not sure what model I have. MK4 or ?? The number on the door post plate is FM 42244 U ... There were some trim numbers but i didn't write them down..... Also, I've noticed, in some reading, there is a overdrive tranny and a non-overdrive. Since this car isn't operational, how can I tell, How is the OD shifted in and out.... Also there is no shift pattern diagram and I'm not sure of how many gears this car has. The gates seem like a standard H pattern and I don't see how it could have more than three, unless you push it down or pull it up.... I need a little basic help here....?? Any help will be appreciated..... Steve
