Look on your 4wd selector switch. Do you have 4PT - N - 4LO, or do you have 4PT - 4FT - N - 4LO.
If the second one, it's a np242. If you don't have the FT option, then it's a np231.
Edit: I should specify, that is for your transfer case. If it's an automatic, then most likely it's an AW-4 transmission. If standard, then AX-15.

I know your question already appears to be answered, but for future reference, E-mail Chrysler and ask them for a build sheet. It obviousely wont tell you things that the PO did to it, but it gives you a good starting point as far as knowing what you have. They will of course want you to tell them when you got it and from where (proof of ownership) but I gotta say they were way cool, ended the e-mail with, welcome to your jeep let us know if theres anything we can help you with. Pretty cool for a company that at this time knew mine was atleast 11-12 years old.
