Default LSD BOX Identification?

How can you tell on a s2 rs if it's an LSD box and not a cheap 3i or diesel box.
Iv'e heard it's something to do with spinning the wheels.

if you look through the hole where the driveshafts go into the box,the lsd box you can see straight through,the xr box and other boxes has a bar going across the hole,i also think that when you spin 1 wheel with the lsd box the other wheel should turn the opposite direction

Jack it up so both front wheels are off the floor then spin one wheel by hand. The other wheel will spin the same direction if it has an LSD
