Default Hp dana 30 lor low pinion?

I have a 00' xj with a Dana 30 front and I am trying to buy parts for a 4.88 upgrade and I know jeep switched from HP to LP halfway through 2000. What's the easiest way to find out if its HP or LP?

Here's what an hp30 looks like from the pumpkin
And here's an lp30, just take a look at find out since it doesn't take longer than 5 seconds to figure out which one you have
