Yes, when new it would have had a 8 3/4", and the bolt pattern was 5 stud, 4" bolt circle.

Been working on a lot of B and E bodies??
Yes. All 68-72 340 cars have 8 3/4 rear ends.
All pre 72 A-bodies have 5 on 4" bolt pattern lugs whether drum or disk brake. (except for 68 Super Stock cars).

The 8 1/4 axle never had small bolt pattern in any vehicle. It was FIRST introduced in the A body line in the 1973 model year.
My '70 Charger 500 HAD a 2.71 geared 8 1/4 axle. I have a '69 FSM listing the 8 1/4 axle for the B body line.
