I know it's a 3 box and most likely a 2a transfer case.
But I am under the impression that I need to know the suffix
to order parts.

Photo shows 522317, BSK1531, these do look like part numbers but aren't shown in any of my parts books.

The next numerical part number that is shown in: UK Series III June 1988 parts catalogue page 1H09, is part number 522318, description - housing assembly, being for speedo drive housing assembly.

Suffix B, C & D main boxes will have some thick ribs on the outside right hand side against the transfer box, suffix D can also be found with the bolts holding the reverse gate to the selector rod end being 2 bolts on a horizontal alignment rather than a vertical alignment.
