I have numbers through June of 1970, so almost the entire production year. Out of a total of 18,938 442s built by then:
416 (2.2%) had the M14 3-speed manual floor shift.
4972 (26.3%) had the M21 4-speed manual close ratio floor shift.
13552 (71.6%) had the M40 automatic.
For what it's worth,
10637 (56.2%) had the D55 front console.
The 3-speed manual column shift and M20 4-speed manual wide ratio were not available on the 442 model.
There is no breakdown between column-shift and floor-shift automatics. But you can be sure that the vast majority were floor-shift (for the 442 model).
