A tapered axle 8 3/4 if it was a V-8.
My memory is that six cylinder cars had a very similar looking 8 1/4 with a drop-out chunk.
I don't remember what year Mopar started using 8 3/4 rears; my 56 Plymouth has a similar looking rear, but it is definitely not an 8 3/4 and AFAIK, nothing interchanges with an 8 3/4.

The Hemi was not available in any Plymouth during the Forward Look years.

Yeah, the 55 Plymouth V-8 is actually a Dodge poly engine, probably a 259. Plymouth didn't get its own V-8 until 56.
The 55 Plymouth/Dodge poly can be converted to a hemi using Dodge hemi heads. Can't do that with the Plymouth V-8 (which eventually got used in Dodges, but is a completely different motor than the 1953-58 Dodge hemi/poly).

Here's a 56 Plymouth 277 poly. Among other differences, the valve covers are scalloped differently than the Dodge poly. The later 318 poly is just a bored/stroked version of the 277.
(Note: some 56 Plymouths still had Dodge poly engines, as Plymouth was not geared up for full production of its new V-8. In 57, all Plymouths used Plymouth poly's)
