[DeTomaso] MANGUSTA ZF FLUID / Dick Ruzzin

Like I wrote earlier, my Pantera mounted dash-1 trans takes the same volume as a dash-2. 3 liters is about what I can get into it before oil reaches the level plug hole. I have the dipstick elbow in that port so I can get 3.5 liters in without overflow. The dipstick has two markings in the 3.2-3.3 liter range IIRC. I fill through the "Mangusta drain plug" which is on top of the rear of the case.

Okay, so putting drinking aside and assuming the 2.1 liters refers to the GT40/Mangusta orientation for the -1, I have the following niggling questions...
1. What oil volume would be correct for the -1 in a Pantera (what Jack refers to as a -1.5)?
2. What volume of oil is appropriate for a -2 when flipped for use in a GT40?
