From what I can tell from your serial number, I believe you have a type 1 P O/D.

The spring wire you found is 1 of 4 on the mainshaft and you're going to have to remove the input shaft to replace it.

Which gear has chipped teeth? It's not unusual for the reverse gears to have some chips because reverse doesn't have a synchro. Depending of what you have, you might be able to use parts from both of your M46s to make 1 good transmisson.
