Gearbox Question?

I bought a gearbox from a wrecker for my 1998 Boxster and I have just noticed a VW and Audi logo on the gearbox.

Please don't tell me it's the wrong one?

What's the gearbox serial / part number(s) stamped on the (I think) front L/H side?? They are the numbers to indicate if you have the correct gearbox or not.

Thanks for the link.

Is CWA a term used by numerous car manufacturers or just Porsche?
