dead give away is (besides the fact that it looks like a C8.25) the rubber drain plug. all Dana axles have screw in drain plugs

The 35 also has the rubber plug. The flat bottom of the case is a dead giveaway for the 8.25

I think the non c-clip 35s from the older Renix era XJs have screw in plugs, saw about 5 D35s at the junkyard the other day with screw plugs, all in 87-90 XJs.
