The box is merely a Mustang gearbox, so that may be the American V8? In which case no it's the same box minus one gear

Some of the first statement IS true. TREMEC T5 is slightly stronger than a BORG WARNER T5, there are small changes to case and internal components, but is you get yours overhauled at a proper recon place they SHOULD put all the stronger stuff in your borg warner case.
