Unless you can find a build sheet I don't think so?
There isn't evidence of a shifter on the column is there?

Does your car still have the original propeller shaft? The M14 3-speed used its own unique drive shaft because of the output spline count. The Dearborn had 28 splines, the Muncie 4-speed had 27.

If it has a console it would have the 3 speed pattern & not be drilled for the overlay 4 speed plate. No console would have it on the shifter ball so without that you're SOL.
