Went digging in the Hollander Interchange books I have that cover '54 - '66, Carl.
The '55 and '56 Mercs used the same T-85s with R-11 overdrive units.
'55 Mercs were 6 volt, so I guess the overdrive relay and governor is different from that used on the 12 volt '56 Mercs.
Hope this helps.

Yup, my '55 Monte has the original trans and it is definitely a T85 w/R11 OD.
