That isn't quite what it says. It says f5m33 which is a fwd transmision. As it has no vin it was a replacement transmission and spzs is a 90 model. As it was a replcaement model it could have different internals inside but should have 90 model specific shifter assembly and 90-92 front diff with the smaller axles.
 
Check the bellhousing flange further. There is another flatspot below the main water pipe along the flange forward of the picture you sent. It will have a 17-digit code stamped in, that will be your VIN code. It is very common for people to remove the OEM sticker VIN near the f5m33 code plate area.
 
You can always measure the front differential input hub diameter and spline count on the diff, or if you have matching axles, then measure the diameter and spline count. As for internals, you would need it disassembled to inspect what has been done. Overall, gear ratios of the 1g transmissions are relatively identical, there are gearset variations though and the gear tooth profile of the input shaft, intermediate shaft, output shaft, 1/2/3/4 gears have changes that require matching components.
