Which 12 bolt rear axle is this?

Hello,
I have to buy some spare parts for my rear axle. I am not sure if the 12 Bolt is 8,5 or 8,875. Gear ratio is 2,73. I have some pictures. Maybe anyone can help me.

Greetings from Germany

You have a 12 bolt housing so you had the 8.75" gears.

That's the original 12 bolt differential that your EC came with from the factory per this cover and part number on the housing.

And the gear must be 8,75?.inside is open differential. According the axle, factory was with limited slip....
"And the gear must be 8,75?" Yes if you don't believe me take off the cover and count the number of bolts in the ring gear. It should have 12 bolts and you can check to see if you have limited slip at the same time (will need special lubrication).
I had open see pictures from my first post. No limited slip inside. Will input one... That's why I ask for the gear ring. Will leave ring and pinion. Looks good...
