Default Help Identify if Traction Lok or not....pics

I just baught this rear end out of a 90 mustang lx. The guy who sold it to me said it did not have a traction lok but it has 3.73 gears. He said it has a limited slip, however in my limited knowledge of rear end gears it appeared to be a traction lok system. Can you identify it for me?

Yep, it is probably a Trac-Lok in need of new clutches if it isn't working.

thanks for the quick replys, my second question is can I order and use 31 spline moser axels with this set up or will 31 spline axels only work with a 31 spline specific differential?
