Ken -

The ratio code and assembly date are stamped on the bottom of the unmachined diff housing flange, between the spring mounting plate and the camber strut rod anchor bracket (see photo below); will probably require cleaning the area to see the stamp.

The casting number is on the passenger side of the nose area of the diff, above the centerline, and the casting date is on the driver's side of the housing, just above where the spring mounts, partially hidden behind the front of the camber strut rod anchor bracket.
