Default Dana 35 Aussie Locker question

I've got an Aussie locker in my 3.55 geared C clipped Dana 35 which i pulled out of my 90 Cherokee. I have a 4.11 non c clipped rearend from an 86 Cherokee I want to put the locker into. Will the locker fit properly? I ask because one diff has c clips and one doesn't.

The "new" diff currently has an open diff. The reason I'm staying with the 35 is that its what i currently have available. I've wheeled my 3.55 geared Dana 35 for a year. I've broken u joint strap bolts,a main leaf spring and worn out u joints...never broken an axle...yet...I'm doing this swap to get better gears.

Dana 35s came with a couple of different sized carriers, and I'm not referring to carrier breaks, and used different sized spider gears. It may fit but try it first before putting the axle in to find out it doesn't.
