I read again with magnifiers, thats TO126 package. Perhaps the orginator
can identify which case?? TO220 or TO126 ??

It's a TO-220 looking at it...

If its a TO220 then its a TO220.
I found my Japanese cross reference book. Here goes. Still a TO126

A trouble may reside in you transistor manufacturer. You would have to look
at the manufacturers spec sheet to get exact figures.

If you make a regulator with diodes, put some capacitance across
the diodes.
