I have one for you. Bought it 2018 and so far it has not found its way to the tranny. Shoot me a pm if interested, I am based in Finland.

@gsxr I've read about the VB and intermediate plate, the VB I bought is a late style (124 270 69 15), but without the intermediate plate. My trans is a 722.365 so the older style.
My understanding is that nobody really found any difference and/or problems with using the "wrong" plate. Do you still believe that, and/or heard otherwise?
Thank you in advance for chiming in!

To date, I haven't been able to figure out the difference, if any. And, nobody has reported any issues using the "late" VB with an "early" intermediate plate. I'd go ahead and install the late VB in the early transmission.
Before installing, I always recommend removing all side plates of the VB to remove all springs and inspect for damage / broken springs. It's rare, but you don't want to have to repeat this job if it doesn't shift quite right. I'd also replace both the K1 and K2 spring trains & pistons with new since the parts are available and (relatively) inexpensive.

I already planned to removing all the side plates and replace the K1 and K2, I did it on my stock VB so I'm not afraid to do it again.
