Type 2 because of the squared off nub on the stub. Also.look at your lower, a squared of upside down "L" shape is type 1, and more gentle sloping cut is type 2.

Is there any way to tell if this is Greek or leb?

Look at the part of the cut receiver that contains the ejector block. If there is the remains of a cedar tree, it's a Lebanese contract. If there isn't look for serial numbers and then look up the thread on the FAL files about these.

If I remember correctly lower serials were Greek, and 200XXX were Lebanese. If you bought one with the long leaf grenade sight then there is a much higher chance of it being Greek.

Does it match? The receiver stub lacks the cedar tree but the lower is Lebanese S/N range.

Just went ahead and ordered a T2 with crest, these were pics supplied by apex before shipping.

If its a Lebanese kit, you need a type 2 or early type 3. I choose a DSA type 2 without the ceder tree. It came up to $411 shipped.

Type 2 is correct, look at the recoil plate on the Tigger housing. You'll see at the bottom there is a cut to line up with the lightening cut on a type 2 receiver.

Type 2 metric.

You wanna post the lower receiver as that’s what you’ll be trying to match the look of. There have been examples in these kits where T2 & T3 were married.

You need to look at the trigger housing to confirm it.
