Some info that'll help identify Toyota LSD boxes:
Here's a standard Toyota gearbox (on the right) next to a standard Toyota LSD gearbox (on the left):
As you can see the LSD unit is pretty obvious:
Because of the housing difference the driverside driveshaft has to be shorter (LSD set at bottom / normal set at top):
Also the sandwich plate between the box and engine block comes in two parts too (LSD version on left of pics):
And due to the shape of the housing the rear gearbox mount is a weird shape compared to normal:
There's a few random differences that can catch you out too but that's the main ones covered..

NB: I'm going to state once again that I don't mind people sharing this info so long as they copy it complete and unedited. If you think you can do a better job then at least use your own pictures ffs. And while we're on the subject it's simple good manners to mention where you got it too so please credit TGTT or myself as the source.
