Looks like a W50 to me

Yep. W40 or W50 with Corona style (and possibly others) rear shifter position.

Can you confirm if the front housing is Alloy and all so 4 or 5 speed? As from reading a W40/W42 has steel front housing, W45 alloy front housing, W50/W51/W52 where again steel front housing but 5 speed.

But to me looks like a 4 speed W45.

W45 is a 4 speed version the late model W boxes (W55-58) which are significantly different in shape to the earlier W40/W50/P51 boxes.

It is very clear it is a W40 or W50. Seeing if the bellhousing is smooth or ribbed will tell you what model it's from.

Also it's pretty clearly just been painted silver.

Wikipedia does not make you an expert.

Thats a W50.

This is a W40

If its got a smooth alloy bellhousing its from either a MX10-13 Corona mark2 or RT104 Corona.If its ribbed its from a RA Celica.And it is most definitely a W50.W45 is the 4spd version of the W55-58 which none of our Aussie produced Toyotas ever had.
