Just looked through my records and remembered I wrote down the dates cast into the inside halves of the diffs when I had them apart.
Interestingly the diff with the plugs in the ball sockets was dated 4-42 and the one without the plugs was dated 3-44.
Assuming the steering ends were not replaced in service, it seems to indicate the plugs were an earlier fitment on those ends and later they were deleted during production. If that is so, I wonder why?
