Question Transmission ID

Hey guys,
I have been beating myself up a bit lately trying to find what SHOULD be simple data on my transmissions based on the part number on the darn thing. I own two Durango's that are 20-ish years old and i dont trust that either still has the transmission they came with from the factory (as described via VIN decoding). I cant find ANY information about the transmission numbers anywhere at all.

Here is what I could get off them:
2001 Dodge Durango, 4.8L 4x4 15(or possibly PK)4011326P52119091AB
1999 Dodge Durango, 5.2L 4x4 PK52119817AA 3494 527Q(Q might be a zero)

Both transmissions need to be rebuilt and I do NOT want to tear one out, break it down and then find out I got the wrong kit. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated!

The 99 is a 44RE. Likely original.

The 01 is a 45RFE, also likely original.

That would be pretty strange and very unlikely to have a different transmission than what Heyyou said.

I looked 'em up by the part number. The 8 digit (10 with alpha characters) numbers you listed.
