Thank for the thoughts.

I agree that it looks like the Ring and Pinion have been replaced. I am not sure about the other parts, mainly all of the bearings, not just the pinion bearings.

I jacked up one rear tire and as I moved the tire back and forth, there was quite a bit of movement before the ring and pinion would contact one another. But, before I can say for sure there is too much backlash, I need to measure it. If the backlash is within spec, I will measure the wear pattern. If the wear pattern looks OK, then i will probably follow you advice and see how it drives.

Here are a few pics I have of it.....
