Fluids for a 122 120-130

I am working on a 1967 Volvo 122.

I need to change the rear end oil and tranny fluid. It does not have LSD or Overdrive.

The book (Haynes manual) calls for Castrol GTX (no weight #) for the trans. Should I use 10-30?

The book calls for Castrol Hypoy B (90 EP) for the rear end. I can't find this anywhere.

What fluids are acceptable for these applications? Thanks.

I've had good luck with Amsoil 75w-90 gear lube in both the tranny and differential.

Use gear oil for both. 80W-90 is fine.
