My diff tag reads 3L50, "L" meaning limited slip. If your tag has no L after the numbers then it is not a limited slip.

I just updated that page with some info that somehow got left off when the page was originally put together. I've added 15 new codes...'WGC-A' to 'WGC-R'. The new info does include a listing for 'WGC-A', but not one for 'WGC-A5'. However, typically when a very minor change is made, the additional number will be added to show the change, although it's not enough of a change to warrant a new code. I'd imagine the 'WGC-A' code still applies to yours.
