Which tranny is in my truck? Borg or Venture?

Hi everyone! Anyone know how to tell which tranny I have in my truck. It's a 95 2.2L 4x2 5 speed manual. Chilton's seems to have left out how to tell if it is a Borg-Warner or a New Venture Gear.

find the R.P.O. label trans codes start at MB and end at M7. i'm thinking the door jamb on s-10

also, didn't the borg warner have a detatchable bell housing, while the NV is all one big ass heavy peice?

It's a New Venture 1500, it's physically the same as the NV3500 that the v6 s10 and the full size trucks used, but with weaker internals.
