Can't help with the numbers, doubtless someone else can soon, but here's how i check.

Try turning driveshaft output flanges in opposite directions, if they are difficult to turn then it's LSD, if they turn easy it's conventional diff.

To check ratio, put 3 tippex marks on all 3 flanges, turn driveshaft flanges in the SAME direction and count the turns until the propshaft mark comes back to it's original mark, 3.5 turns is easy to count and you should be able to guess near enough the remaining 0.12.

If you want to be REALLY sure, keep going until the propshaft flange has gone 10 revolutions, and driveshaft turns will be 31.4, 33.8, 36.2 or 39.2 turns respectively

Hope this helps

EDIT Why do I only spot my spelling mistakes AFTER i've posted

Any number with A A in is a LSD, regards Alan.
