Cool Mazda rx-7 Fb rearend,waht are these codes ?

Dear mazda friends.
I am in need off help with this.i found a rear end from a 1985 FB.Its has some identifcation codes and stickers on the back:

Is this a LSD item inside ?These are some stickers or stamped letters on the back.

Maury, i'll check in the parts fiche tonight when i get off of work and i may be able to tell you which differential you have. usually the LSD's have a yellow sticker on them that states that that it is in fact a limited slip differential. is the diff complete with the rear end housing? if so and if its untouched with disc brakes, its an lsd. drum brakes are indicitive of a differential without limited slip.

Those don't look like mazda part numbers. Easiest way to check if you have an LSD is to jack up your rear end. Turn one wheel (with tranny in neutral) and watch the other side. If the wheel spins in the same direction as the other one then you have and LSD. If the wheel turns in the opposite direction, you have an open diff.

If it's the 85 rearend with disc brakes then yes, it is limited slip (LSD).

Provided someone hasn't swapped the diffs out. You should still test it when you buy it with the rotation method.
