TNT: The same automatic transmissions were used on both the Isuzu and Mitsubishi cab-overs, both the AW450 and the JR403E.

Rhino: It appears to be an automatic, judging by the fill tube on the left side, however, the standard auto tranny, at least here in the US that was fitted to the 4HE1 was t he AW450. All of the ones that I have seen have the starter on the left side along side the transmission and the one in the ebay ad appears to have the starter mount forward like on the 4BD1/2s. The starter cannot be mounted forward alongside the engine on a 4HE1 as that is where the injection pump is located and the injection pump is driven off a gear train that is at the rear of the engine.

As Dougal said, pto are on the side of the tranny and way forward on the left side (AW450 & JR403E). I would be willing to bet that we are seeing a T-case. Although the shifter appears to be mounted, it is possible that it is connected with a cable and just happens to be sitting there.

I've seen thiis guy (exportini) sell other Isuzu stuff on ebay always asking top dollar. I talked to a local guy that had a 4BD1T for sale that he had purchased originally from exportini and he was not very happy with what he got.

Here is a picture of a US 4HE1T from approximately the same angle:
