help identifying a t5?

I found a guy selling a "5speed out of a camaro". I emailed him, he said it sat behind a 350 in an 81 berlinetta. I did some checking and this car never came with a 5 speed, meaning it must have been swapped in. what would be the best way to identify it to see if its from a 3rd gen or not? I asked him to check for a tag, but beyond that I have no idea how to tell what it is.

The tag will tell everything. It should be on one of the bolts that holds the tail housing on.
