XA GT Toploader?

Okay Guys, I just picked up a toploader that seems a bit of a bargain...
The guy selling it said it was a close ratio out of a XA GT, came with bellhousing, shifter, twin plate clutch setup etc, and still had the ID tag on it...
Now, I've compared the id tag against the listings on David Kees toploader site, and its a RUG-BF1, which is apparently a wide ratio... this doesn't bother me so much, just means its not quite the Bargain it might have been....
But my question is, did XA GT's ever come with a Close ratio box?
Will the XA shifter setup work with my XY's console?
Did anything else come with the twin plate setup on a Toploader?
Is the twin plate setup worth using?

Thanks Guys!

Ben

oh yeah, I counted teeht etc...Its a 28spline output and 31 toothe 2nd gear, so its a wide ratio... However, the clutch matches the descriptions of the GTHO clutch mods... or did this become standard on the later cars (cylindrical steel bits instead of cast lugs)?
