Default 2000 cherokee rear diff

Hi, new here and I have a 2000 cherokee sport with a 4.0 engine, I'm trying to figure out what rearend I have, I found some numbers on the diff and they are 9549. I have tried searching for them with know luck, any and all help would be appreciated. I'm thinking it is a 8.25.

Thanks Wahoo
