Location of Rear End Type

Okay so I had a new rear end cover put on a couple years ago (by factory) and they never put the tag back on letting me know the type of rear end I have... I now have to replace the rear end and I figured it would be easier for me to just replace the whole rear end instead of messing with the gears...

Any idea of where I can find my rear end type??

Thanks Boys...

You can also figure out if it is a traction loc by lifting both rear wheels off the ground, tires chocked, transmission in neutral.... then turn the rear wheel by hand. The other rear wheel will turn the same direction if a limited slip.. the other wheel will turn the oposite way if it is an open differential.
