The gearbox uses engine oil as a lubricant, so either straight SAE30 or 20W-50. fill to the bottom of the threads on the level plug, no more.
For the rear axle, jack up the car under the rear cross-member, which allows the axle to hang down under its own weight. That's when you should check the level. A 33 'D' type axle should take 250ml of SAE 140 oil. You need a syringe to get it in. Fill until it runs out & then let it drain before putting the plug back in. Standing the oil in hot water beforehand will help to thin it a bit.
