Usually limited slip and posi are used somewhat interchangeably. A posi would have a visible set of springs between the two bigger gears. See picture for an example.

The place where the spring are there is gears. Maybe I just bought another one wheel diff. ?@"Q.

If you turn one gear, does the gear on the other side turn the opposite direction? If so it's an open (non posi) unit.

Here's another picture. Is there anything between the two bigger gears or just a shaft that runs between the two smaller gears?

just shafts
