Default Rear end ID help needed

All, I'm looking at a rear axle, and need help id'ing it.

Casting number is N 1235542.
Stamping on the axle tube is JA G279 1
Wheel mounting surface width is 60".
I have no info on perch to perch width.

Looks to be an 8.5, but I am having trouble nailing down whether it is a Nova rear end, or a 2nd gen rear.

Target vehicle would be my 67 Firebird, which is already running a Nova rear end with 3.73's. JA looks to be 2.73's, which would be a killer cruising gear.

Any help appreciated, thanks!
