Inspect them closely - there's probably a tag somewhere with all the pertinent info. You'll need that for later questions. If you post pics, we could narrow it down, but there are variations with the same housings.

Welcome aboard. Sounds like you have Walter V-drives. Check the back of the unit for a tag. That unit does not take ATF, it's likely straight 30 weight. The unit on the engine will take ATF. To confirm, pull the dipsticks and note the colour.
