What are the markings and are they stamped on a bolt on cover, a tag, or stamped on the rear of the pumpkin housing?

Try this:

What rear end ratio is in my Ford , do I have positraction? - Drivetrain.com

There is a tag on the pumpkin - I should have the thing off the ground enough to read it and figure out what I have soon. Rear ends and gear ratios are yet another thing I am trying to get my head around.
