Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The BD137-6 transistor can have a current gain of 40 to 100. The gain of the BD137 will be in the range from 40 to 250, for the BD137-10 it will be in the range from 63 to 160, for the BD137-16 it will be in the range from 100 to 250.The complementary PNP transistor to the BD137-6 is the BD138-6.The BCP55 (SOT-223) and BSR40 (SOT-89) is the SMD version of the BD137-6 transistor. These transistors are of the same type, have similar parameters and are designed for surface mounting.You can replace the BD137-6 with the 2N4922, 2N4922G, 2N4923, 2N4923G, 2N5191, 2N5191G, BD137G, BD139, BD139-6, BD139G, BD167, BD169, BD177, BD179, BD189, BD228, BD230, BD235, BD235G, BD237, BD237G, BD377, BD377-6, BD379, BD379-6, BD439, BD439G, BD441, BD441G, BD787, BD787G, BD789, BD791, MJE223, MJE224, MJE225, MJE240, MJE241, MJE242, MJE243, MJE243G, MJE244, MJE721 or MJE722.
