My 1963 Service Man. says (and I quote!)..."I.D. of Sure Grip diff assembly 
can be made by the letter "S" stamped on the I.D.  pad on the right side of 
the carrier housing, or by a metal tag reading "Use Sure-grip Lube" 
attached by means of the rear axle housing-to-carrier bolt, below the 
carrier filler plug. If the letter "S" or the tag is not apparent, remove 
the filler plug and use a flashlight to look up through the filler plug hole 
to ID the type of case. The Sure Grip type diff. case (two piece 
construction)  has attaching bolts. The conventional type diff case (one 
piece construction) has a dome-like shape with no case cap attaching bolts"

So sayeth the Book !

Hope this helps

there is a pad on the bottom right of the carrier, near the rear of it
(away from the pinion yoke).  and by right, I mean pass. side.
sometimes they are stamped, othertimes they are stamped so lightly,
its hard to make 'em out.  SG's did have some other sort or prefix
or suffix, I can't remember what, but it is sez 2.93 and nothing
else figure it to be a non-SG.  most SGs were 742s in those years,
and unless its in a truck or its a 225 car, mostlikely its a
2.93:1,,, perhaps a 3.23:1

good luck.
