It's a non-synchronized 4 speed with straight cut gears where the SM420 2nd through 4th gears are synchronized and have helically cut gears (1st and reverse are un-synchronized straight spur gears). Thanks Dan! I heard it was a "crashbox", but I didn't know the official name. I'm guessing my pictures would not help.
