Rear Axle Problem

I have SPF #633 manufactured in 1999. Recently the left inner boot on the rear drive axle split, throwing grease. Whats more, when I grip the left shaft from below (near the differential) there is more than a 1/4 inch of play, and the wheel will rotate about 20 degrees and then the axle engages with a clunk. It seems the inner axle bearing is shot?? Trouble is, I'm not sure what brand of IRS I have. I've heard three possibilities:
1. Mustang Cobra rear end
2. Thunderbird rear end
3. Jaguar rear end

Can anyone identify which "brand" of rear drive I have? Has anyone had a similar problem and can give some advice? Thanks
