Differential Vs. cover casting dates for C-2 C-3

[Rich C.]

Looks like someone at sometime replaced the rear cover on my differential. Does anyone have easy access to the relationship of the dates between their cover and differential housings they'd like to share?

Differential case - J22, 10/2/72
Differential cover - K162, 11/16/72
Differential build - 340, 12/5/72
Body build - E13, 12/13/72
