Correct 2WD has 7.5, as did Granada's, lesser models had 7" diffs (Although some late DOHC 2L had 7.5") the 4x4 beam is just the same as a lesser model, the 2WD beam is different so as to accommodate the bigger diff, so you can't simply just change the diff.

In both Cosworth models they naturally are LSD'S.
