Shift by the wheel is an Automatic and the one you have to manually shift on the floor is a Standard.

Well in the olden days when we limited to just three and four speed transmissions you would have "three on the tree" which was a column mounted three speed and "four on the floor" which was a floor mounted four speed. Both had quite a long term for manufacture. I think the three speed on the column ended somewhere in the early eighties and the four speed shortly after that. If anyone has specfic dates then by all means add them to your entry.
