As far as I'm aware they spin the same way.

If you take shafts out you'll be able to see straight through where the diff is rather than having a bar in the way.

They spin the same way if LSD. If they spin the opposite ways then it is a normal (or broken LSD) diff.

Fiesta RST do not have an LSD. S1 had LSD as standard, and the S2 had a "softer" LSD with more holes drilled into it internally.
