Rolleiflex cameras bodies are similars, there are
differences for the bodies' slots, supports and
hollows form, sizes and distribution according the
model.
If you have a body prepared to receive a 2.8/80 lens
carrier, a CR 0 shutter, a crossed f stops and shutter
speeds controls for a coupled lightmeter and a
separated wheel for the lightmeter, it could be an F
or GX body.
If you have a body with slots prepared to receive a
3.5/75 lens, a CR00 shutter with lateral release
button, bands and levers and not wheels for shutter
speeds and f stops and EV setting, it could be a T
body.
Bodies are similars, the slots, hollows and supports
in the body are the difference.
All the best
Carlos
