if you are running stock axles then they both should be 27 spline, do you have an auto or a manual tran? do you have a towpackage?

The d35 does kinda look alike, that probably what you have and they don't recommend locking those.... To weak

if you have a 8.25 then it was swapped out, if you look at the diff is it round, or is it flat on the top and bottem?

a dana 35 is completely round and the chrysler is flat on top and bottem, another easy way to tell if you have one or the other is if you have abs brakes, if you do then you have a dana35 if not you could have either or, the 8.25 is more commen to see tho with no abs
