Measure the length. 36" are A body. 41" are B/E. A box end wrench may help determine the thickness if you dont have dial calipers.
As far as someone here knowing that part number, who knows. There are some really helpful members, but some questions are hit or miss.

I've always been surprised that Mopar described their torsion bars that way. That is kind of like asking if you have a 3/4 or full race cam.

Anyway, 1.12 diameter bar for an E body has an rate of 270#. FWIW, XV Level 1 systems where all speced out with a 1.12 to 1.18 bars, so while it is a stout bar, it is not out of the realm of a streetable torsion bar, provided you also use a shock capable of controlling its motion.

By contrast, a stock .88 bar is going to be around 100# wheel rate, as a point of comparison.
