You're ok there as all 5 speed box's from all models to '80 will fit. The ratios are the same, in fact I have a spare box for my 90/6 that came from a '79 R65. The models before '77 will look slightly different in that they will be smooth sided, and '78 to '80 will be ribbed, but they still fit fine.

Any 5 speed, up until the lighter flywheel (1981, I think) will work.  You can put in the later one but you would also need to change the flywheel and all clutch related components as well.
