Below is a Spicer ID chart...
1- Date
2- Bill of Material
2A- Axle ID Tag
3- Model Number
4- Ratio Tag
5- Limited Lubrication Tag

Towing packages typically are set up with 4:10 ratio gearing
Here's a link: http://coloradok5.com/axleguide.shtml that can help you identify by the shape of the housing and bolt pattern.

You always have good advice, but charts to go with it ,too.  Man.

Rubber oil fill hole = 35 W/ c-clips

Threaded oil fill hole = 35 wothout c-clips

The only YJs I heard of not having a 35 were Canada gov. models

Also count the bolts and shape of the cover.
