front/rear differential housing - how to tell the difference? (1 Viewer)

[smdennis]

I recently sent out my front and rear differential housings for powder coat, made a rookie error and forgot to note which was which. When I put them side by side, I cannot tell the difference between the two, aside from a few numbers on the outside. One has a marking of a 7 in one spot and the other has a 9 in the same location. Both have a 'D' in another location. In a 3rd location, one has a '-60011' and the other has a '41111-60011'. Pictures below. Does anyone know how to tell which is the front and which is the rear?

they interchange front to rear so i doubt it matters.

there is no difference in the housings....other than the mold numbers.

fornt or rear all the same, just depends on which one you install where, as said before
