Hi Rich,
I am pretty sure that Craig (74westy) lives in New Zealand.
It is true that Ford cars fitted with BW35 boxes from 1983 onwards in Australia had the Tx fluid spec change from Type F to Dexron. This is also borne out by Catrol's recommendation for transmission fluid in those cars. For transmissions built prior to that date, the recommended fluid remained as Type F.
I will write more about this later today, but I am running out of time at the moment, so I need to get a wriggle on.

Is this a uk car or are you elsewhere? I only ask because Ron has mentioned upgraded parts in rebuilt australian boxes?
