What do I have here??
Opened my 3.9 Cortina diff to find this:

and this 180 deg around

wondered if I've stumbled across a limited slip diff as the spider housing is fully enclosed and not open on one side.
anybody know - can't check the normal way because I have the halfshafts out.

I fail to see how you could cram all that into there...?! and slip diffs actually tend to be even bigger due to the extra clutch disk. do you do a lot
of drag racing?

Looks like a 'spool' type diff - i.e. solid!

Hope it's not solid  seem to recall that there was some differential movement between the shafts when I had them in - will put them in
tomorrow and check - if they move differentially then can I assume it's "limited slip"?

might be a limited slip one going by this -

would love to see inside, think it's all loaded in from the other sided. Only way to be sure is to put the half shafts in and see if you can get
a wheel to turn with the other stationary, if it does and it's heavy to turn then it's a limited slip one.

Yep - put half-shafts in - definitely a LSD - think it's clutch type as per ^^^^.
I wonder what it came out of?
