380808 appears to be the part number of the later model countershaft. www.gcp.se has the original parts counter microfiches online, they are a good reference for part numbers and even reassembly clues (the exploded schematics).

The earlier (smaller) countershaft had a different part number.

I recently had my early M40 (1963) and later M41 (J-type, 70-ish?) apart to swap bad M41 syncros for the good M40 ones and came across the countershaft diameter difference. I didn't measure them but it would be ABUNDANTLY clear if the countershaft size and case holes were not matching. The correct ones are a somewhat snug fit, and the larger end isn't readily apparent to the eye. You shouldn't have to drive it all the way through, though, just the last couple of inches.
