It looks like a version III gearbox to me..
Just, make sure you don't misalign that spring guide or you will be replacing a piston body and maybe other internals..
Also, The version III is one of the most easiest gearbox to work on.. If you want an easy spring switch platform go for M249 or the Star L85.. Almost every version III platform, you will need to extract the gearbox from the body to remove the spring any ways. This just changed the tolerance of the gearbox's strength and possible will produce problems..
Nice job though..

After you cleared the building, toss on your ol' trusty Field upper with a longer barrel and M120 in it.
Ah the joys of real steel, or since the re-inception of GBBRs, the WEtech M4.
Either way, keep this going, man! Looks like it would be an awesome project.

However, it seems to me that the metal bodies that still use a "tab" design (My TSD HK146 comes to mind) it could possibly work. I'm sure there would be all sorts of neat things you could do involving channels and nobs and different mechanisms that mate together between the upper and lower parts of the gearboxes.
Slipstream, if you can pull this off, you could make a lot of money with it.

How are you going to get the spring guide out? Ever seen the SAWs quick change spring? They use a flat head screw driver, maybe you could incorpate a phillips for better stability when taking out the spring guide.
How are you going to prevent the piston from twisting when reinstalling the spring guide?
