There is a bolt half way up the trans on the driver side. This is the fill hole. Undo the plug. Fill until it can't take any more (ie starts spilling out the hole). Start the car, cycling it through the gears. 2 seconds in each position is good. While the car is running and in park, fill it until its full again. Put the plug back in. Job done.

Oh yeah, the exhaust gets hot quick, so dont screw around too long with the gear cycling. The hole happens to be near the cat converter...

You probably didn't even need to remove the spiggot bearing. The input shaft from the BTR doesn't go in that far and would never get far enough up to need to touch the spiggot bearing.
And your EF2 must have had a change over trans at some point, because EF 2's didn't have dipsticks from the factory. My EF 2 certainly didn't.

Guarentee you it wasn't originally from an EF2. EF2's didn't have dipsticks, if it has one then its not factory. The part number on the box wont matter, since they are all the same BTR, just EF2's did not have dipsticks.
