I "think" they are all 4.22s, except for the ke16/18 wagons which had 4.44 diffs. I guess due to age you never know if it still has the original center.

 

It is not that hard to work out the ratio while the diff is still in a car:

 

-Raise one wheel so it can be turned (make sure the opposite one is locked in one place).

-Make a reference mark on the raised wheel/brake drum and on the pinion uni/pinion flange.

-Select neutral, handbrake off.

-Get a helper to slowly turn over the raised wheel precisely 20 turns, while you count how many times the tailshaft turns over. You may need to repeat a couple of times to ensure accuracy incase you lose count.

 

45 (and a bit) turns of the tailshaft is 4.55

44 is 4.44

43 is 4.33

42 is 4.22

41 is 4.11

etc.......
