If you have kept the VIN plate from the donor look at box 10 Axle the code letter in there equates to the fitted axle ratio (although the only real way to tell is to use the diff tag codes or open the diff, the ratio is engraved on the crown wheel)
M=3.14
A=3.36
V=3.38
U=3.62
3=3.64
D=3.92
any diff tag code with AA or AAA is a LSD

There are 3 Type 9 gearbox gear sets for the 4 pot engines, Diesel, P100 and Petrol. The standard Type 9 has a 3.6 to 1 first gear the V6 Type 9 has a 3.3 first gear but has a longer input shaft.

Snapper, question...
Box 10. is that the 10th letter in the Vin No?
If so then it's an "N"...Which don't show on your list.
Or am I being a numpty.
