the f13 box is in a few cars but as said by Ian they have a different final drive.
the the final drive is the ratio on the crown wheel and pinion on the diff this will change the ratio of all the other gears in the box for example you can get a f13 close ratio and also a wide ratio.
if your corsa is a sport model youll be wanting a close ratio the f13cr is what i have on my 1.6 sport.

by the end plate, on a lip, you will find a code stamped into it, it will start with A or B, have a 5 digit number, then the gearbox code F13/F15, then a W or C (wide or close ratio), then a 3 digit number (final drive ratio).

They all fit but you should look out for a close ratio one as that'll be the same.

have a look and see what gearbox you have one yours and try and find one the same, shouldnt be to hard theres usually a few floating about.
im not 100% sure which gearboxes are interchangeable with the x16xe so finding one the same as you original one would be the easiest options
