Default How to tell box has a Quaife LSD?

I've just bought a second hand gearbox which I'm told has a Quaife LSD in it, how do I check? I know its got an LSD in it (not that stupid ) but how can I tell if its a Quaife? It doesnt look like any of the standard box's I've had in the past.

Can you measure (with a drill bit or some thing) the diameter of the small hole, can check to see if it is the beveled pre load washer found in a quaife then!

The small hole is about 12/13mm if that helps.
