1969 f600 rear differential fluid level

I can't find in any manual which plug is the fill level plug!
I have 3 to choose from.
2 can be removed with a 3/8 drive ratchet and one would need a, guessing, 5/8 or 7/8 wrench.
One of the 3/8 plugs has an "F" stamped on the housing.
Help please!

The one with the hex head should be for a temp sensor, assuming it's an Eaton rear end.
The fill level will be somewhat above the bottom of the axle tubes as the oil needs to flow out to the bearings.
