3 pins on the center of case were the ring gear bolts and no windows = gov-loc posi unit .

3 pics in order as i typed above .
This is helpful. Mine looks just like the first one. Four windows with small gears visible through them. So I assume this is an open diff and therefore I shouldn't put anything but gear oil into it.

Here's a better pic, you can see one of the windows and small gears: https://imgur.com/a/7u0Z6Hv
