Rear axle quistions

[mk2dk]

Hello! I just bought a rearaxle from a Capri 3. It`s an atlas axle and on the little typeplate, it says 3.09 and a long number that is difficult to read but looks like 4588400SCA the first 3 digits are very hard to see. It has single layer leaf springs and pretty thick shockabsorbers (50mm) the brakedrums messures 228 mm inside dia and 65 mm inside deept where the brakeshoes touch. Does someone know from which Capri the axle belongs ? Should be a 2.8 I but how do I identify it ?

Single leafs & a 3:09 ratio says its a 2.8 mk3 axle

Question is, is it an early 2.8i axle or an LSD equipped special axle?

the 2.8's n the 3ltrs both had thesame ratio's 3.09 had one in my 2.9 cappa till it went bang. Think the LSD ratios were different, could be wrong if in dought whip it open.....

Think it´s without LSD but I will open it today. The brakedrums turns in oppesit direction. Bought it in Germany
