Compare your shift bezel with this picture to figure out TC model.

The chain seems to be wider than 1".
242 has 1" chain (don't beleive you have 242HD), 231 chain is wider (1,25 or 1,5", have to check).

231 has 1,25" chain.
A few words on 231: http://jeep.avtograd.ru/xfer/encyclo...p231/index.htm
and on 242: http://jeep.avtograd.ru/xfer/encyclo...p242/index.htm

The bezel is changeable as well as tcase.
1" wide chain means 100% 242.

the case looks too smooth to be a 242.
the 242 case has fins.

Trentsjeep, can you see a differential just under the chain: http://jeep.avtograd.ru/xfer/encyclo...p242/nv242.jpg

Sorry about chain width.
There was 1" 231 chain - such as Cloyes 10-027.

So, let's try to find a diff.
