Help Identifying 5spd Transmission

Hi folks, can you help me identify this 5spd? I was told it came out of an '81 Toyota pickup. My 4spd came out of my '77 2wd pickup, and I'd bet it's original to the truck. Both transmissions are about 28.75" long from the bellhousing mating surface to the tip of the output shaft housing, and both have 21 spline output shafts. See pics below. Thanks!

Here you can see my 4spd side-shifter on the right, and the donor 81(?) 5spd on the left.

The rear support mounts are a little different between the 5spd and 4spd.

The 5spd has the speedometer cable on the passenger side, while the 4spd has the speedometer cable on the driver side.
