Rear Diff Cover

So I was under the impression that I could install one of those 08 OEM aluminum diff covers on my truck. I ordered one up from Horizon Ford and went to install yesterday and noticed that it doesn't have a fill plug. Then noticed that the bolt pattern doesn't match up. Did I get the wrong one or is this swap not an option for the dually? I would like the aluminum cover but I am not dropping 200.00 plus for an aftermarket unit. This OEM was only 50.00 plus 18.00 buck is bolts.

you can get the aluminum cover for the dually youll probably need to tell them the part number though.....when i was trying to get one they tried to tell me there wasnt one so i went out to the lot and crawled up under a new dually wrote down the part number and took it back in to them....they were stunned but got me the part.....
