On the rear axle there will be a 3 digit number stamped into the diff housing somewhere, which will identify the diff type, other than that you'll need to measure it to find out exact details.
Are you wanting to ID a trans and axle that you have already?

It is a 7 digit number James ! you need the last three if it is an 8 3/4.
Other axles have doferent designs, i.e. removable back plates, I dont have a scanner so it is hard to explain, maybe a google search will help?

Anyway, sickfish - photos are your friend here, they'd help the experts here ID stuff

Cheers guys, finally know what i'm looking at. I have got a 71/4 rear axle with a lsd in it, but heard they ain't that good. Know where there is a narrowed 83/4 with moser shafts and a spool in it, four link barackets, any good, might buy it cos its going cheap.

7 1/4 is ok for near stock 318 use, if I remember right people have run 13s on them without problems ... a built 8 3/4 will be up to serious abuse though, lol.
