1987 CQ gearbox oil capacity?

Can anybody reassure me on the capacity of the gearbox oil on my type 85 cq?

I've seen 2.2 ltrs , 3 ltrs and 4.5 ltrs mentioned.

Problem is the stuff isn't cheap and I'd rather not buy way more than I need.

Same goes for the rear diff.

Not too sure on the B2 models but B3 model capacities from Bentley manual are

rear diff all models 0.75 litre trans oil GL5 grade (Mil-L 2105 B) SAE90

Gearbox all models (O1A gearbox) 2.85 litre trans oil G50 (synthetic oil) SAE 75 W 90
