I don't know which it is but it should be either a Muncie M12 or M13.

Dr Google tells me 3925647 is a Saginaw 3-Spd

A stock replacement clutch is probably fine. I see Delco kits around $110. Looks like there are some variations so I hope you still have your old stuff.

I'm not 100% sure the difference between Raised Diaphragm and Flat Diaphragm. Someone smarter then I in these things will probably pipe in. Maybe Josh.

Buy it local, maybe at your local Napa, that way if it is wrong returning it is easier.

If it has all 3 "tabs" on the side cover then it's a Saginaw.
