It’s a limited slip diff, just by looking at it I can see that. If you turn the pinion flange and both rear axles turn the same direction you definitely know it’s a posi rear even with the cover still on.

The gear ratio can also be determined by looking at the numbers stamped in the ring gear and doing some simple division.
