Strange looking front center housing for sure(parking brake cable catch). Measure it from the inside edge of the shock to the outer edge of the diff cover on each side..looking at the construction of the center section and size of axle tubes..looks to big to be a 44..I would bet money its a D60. A question was asked about the strength diff between a 9.25 and a D60 over at RCC,and here was the first response.. " Which D60, the common full floating version or the Mexican DM semi floating D60?"

you see that picture of the green ramcharger---that is a mexican ramcharger and it has a 9.25-----and plenty of guys mistake the 9.25 for a dana 60----
Actually, it has a D44 under the rear. I've spent enough time under it to know.

As for the photos, I am having a difficult time telling the difference only seeing half of it. A simple measurement across the cover will tell the tale. Dana made some really odd axles, including a D60=2 for industrial use that was popping up on eBay a few years back with a centered diff and high 5 series gears. Guy had stacks of them, all brand new. A lot of Jeep guys bought them.
~EDIT~
Here is one of the eBay D60-2 housings.
RCC has quite a bit of chatter about "Fabled Mexican RC D60s, it appears. It it does exist, it would be a good match for my 2wd '88 RC... And that is exactly why I built my Dana 60-2 for my '87 D100...my '86 2wd Ramcharger has a Dana 60 with the 3.125" axle tubes from a '74 D200 and all the other aftermarket stuff for drag racing. The Dana 60-2 came to me stock with 35 spline axles, PowerLock carrier, 4.10 gears, 12" drum brakes, Set 7 tapered wheel bearings (no PS adjuster) and a 5 on 5.5" bolt pattern. All the bearings were new, the brakes were fresh and I gave $400.00 for it in 2010.
BTW all the 60s I have seen have the number 60 cast in the lower right web in the case next to the cover plate. No need to measure anything.

apologies to 76dodgeboy----i just brought home a 2000 mexican ramcharger---it does indeed have a dana 60 rear with the 5 on 5.5 lugs and spicer is stamped across the back of the cover with 1 inch tall characters--and the provision for a pinion snubber on the casting....
