From http://jeephorizons.com/tech/xjstockspecs.html

Gearing

3.07 - used with 4.0L engine / manual transmission
3.31 - only available on older (pre87?) 2 door XJs with "Fuel Economy" package
3.55 - used with 4.0L engine / automatic transmission
3.73 - found in some XJs with the towing package
4.10 - used with 2.5L engine usually, and older XJs with the "Off-Highway Vehicle" package.

Should help you identify rear end, If you take the diff cover off you can look on the ring gear and there will be a list of numbers take the last 4 numbers and divide the first 2 by the second 2 and will give you your ratio. A 3.73 ratio will read 41 11 as the last 2 numbers (41\11=3.727272) hope this helps.

On the tag on the pumpkin, which is probably un-readable (mine was). They cant just put it on the axle because the axle housed so many different ratios. If you cant read the tag or take the diff cover off all I can do is guess and I say 3.55:1.
