1973 220D Gearbox/transmission Fluid

Hi can anyone help me out with how I check/fill the transmission fluid up on this car ? I have never done it and I couldn't see where it goes in or where I might check it. I'd really like to check it out and maybe change it because I think it hasn't been done in a long long time.
Thanks!!

Manual gearbox =>

Right hand side of the gearbox there's a plug near the top => spill to fill!

Drain is underneath near the front.

Automatic =>

With a warm transmission that has been allowed to settle down a bit on a level surface and with the engine running check the dip stick that is next to the engine (right hand side of the car again - so looking at the engine from the front on the left hand side).

For both the manual trans and the differential:

Before draining, ensure that the fill plug can be removed.

This is a typical ZF four speed manual gearbox, found under an old MB.

Red arrow is the drain plug, blue arrow the fill plug.
