Default Help an idiot identify his axles!

I've been staring at this site here... http://www.xjjeeps.com/tech_referenc...section=2&ID=3 and I seriously cannot tell which I have. So hoping the veterans here can give me a quick answer. BTW it's a 96 cherokee sport, auto and whichever transfer case has 4H and 4L part time.

My front..


rear...


I was thinking Dana 30 in front and Dana 35 in the rear? Trying to buy new gaskets to change my fluid so I want to make sure I get the right ones. I know most people say use the RTV sealant but I was planning on using that coupled with the gaskets as I've heard of both leaking after replacement.

Thanks again!

As for the rtv / gasket issue. Just want to say that the front I did rtv + gasket. The rear I did just rtv ... neither leak at all. The most important thing is to take your time and clean the mating surfaces very very well.
