There were only 3 options available. The Dana 35 which is the base rear axle from 84-01, the Chrysler 8.25 available from 91-01, and the Dana 44 only available from 87-89. What year do you have?

The 8.25 has a flat "lip" on the bottom, the d35 does not.

35 top, 8.25 bottom

It's a 94 Cherokee 4.0 auto. The pictures of the covers on most websites are not clear. Both have 10 bolts?

The Dana 35 has a rounded bottom on the center section of the axle housing. The Chryco 8.25 has a flat lip across the bottom.
