Vetus M3.10 Gearbox Ratio

Hi All!

I need to change gearbox on Vetus M3.10.
I have contacted vetusonline.com and they told me that Vetus M3.10 had several versions of gearbox with different ratios.
They also told me that the ratio should be written on the top of the gearbox. At the moment I am away from my boat, so I asked marina to take a photo of the gearbox top. They have sent me two photos (attached).
No ratio on these photos. Maybe ratio can be deduced from label "HURTH MUNCHEN WEST-GERMANY" ?
Where else do you think it can be?
Many thanks!

It's a 2.05:1 ratio in forward and 1.86:1 in reverse.

Always thought that gears ratio numbers are integers, never new that they may be fractional!
Thanks!
