Default Supra diff identification and ratio...

I have a 2wd saff cossie which is fitted with toyota supra diff.
The previous owner knew very little about the cars exact spec so was wondering how can I tell exactly which model supra diff I have fitted and once so I'd ideally like to know what ratio it is...

Any advise much appreciated

Cheers Paul

Bara rebuilt mine for me and he is able to reset all all the ramp angles etc to suit the weight of the cossie.

Do you know if they are able to change the crown wheel and pinion ratios?
