Millers Gear Oil Vintage Green 140 GL1 - 1 litre
But as it's a GL1, I have doubts that it's enough in term of EP ? GL4 is much better on that side, but it's never written that it's compatible with yellow metals.
On the other side, the german importer of Lubriplate answered my email and I am now in contact of the shop responsible for France, Belgium and Holland.
Antwerp Lion Oil Works NV
They are selling by 16Kg units for 219€ + transport. With transport, Millers 140W or Lubriplate SPO 277 will be more or less at the same price per litre.

Yes, avoid GL-5 oils ! GL-1 is probably the most appropriate for old gearboxes, GL-4 for differentials.

Cord members Directory and tried to make a personal connection with a European ?
Yes, they have one German distributor for the "rest of the world" with a website from the 80s , available only in german for the oil part... I will restart from the specifications of that oil to find an european equivalent. We use to have that problem even with more moderns cars, with oils brands and types that are not available from one continent to the other (both way).
I found another friend in Belgium owning a Phaeton SC but his car is serviced in UK. Only few Cord's are registered in Belgium. That make the challenge even more exciting
