Worth a flick through.
We recently got a Fuchs account, then set about going through ETKA and gathering the part numbers from there and going through TecDoc matching them up and speaking with Fuchs technical.
We're currently using the SAE75W GL4 in gearboxes, that's what crosses over from the vw No of G 060 726 A2.
I've also swapped my AAR gearbox oil to the Fuchs and it's the best it's ever been, was never really been happy with how it behaved with Millers, carplan / carlube / comma were okay but Fuchs FTW

If you think the prices are a bit off, just say, new supplier and just finding our feet pricewise.

The smith and Allen linked above states GL5 in description.

A bit overfull will do no harm, if you park nose down you may get a weep from the breather hole so the front of the box will get oily
VW reduced the fill level of the petrol 2wd box for a smoother shift but that exposes the crown and pinion imho so I'd rather have 4 litres in a 2wd box and 4.5 litres in a syncro box, but the only way you can have exactly that volume is to put in measured amount when box is completely empty which will only happen when box is out and has been fully drained or rebuilt, in the van fill to the point when it runs out of the fill hole when it's level, especially important with a Syncro box as there's a 1 way valve in there so if nose up that is closed and it will likely overflow with only 3.5-4 litres in it, I have seen many Syncro boxes with insufficient oil in them either because of that or because garages mistake the published info for 2wd boxes with the less published info for Syncro
