No it won't. There is other coding on the door. But that tag and the rear end would both have to be original. S000000, 2x AREA351.

AXLE code stamped on 2nd line-far right of the Warranty Plate, located on the left door face below the latch.
But, who knows today if the R&P is the original?
9 inch: AXLE ID tag located under one of the bolts (usually at 5 'clock) that retains carrier to housing.
By now, many of these tags have gone bye bye.

If all else fails:
With truck in neutral and front wheels chocked, Jack up one side of the rear axle and turn tire one complete revolution while counting the revolutions of the yoke at the drive shaft. Put a chalk mark on both the tire and yoke as a reference.
If for example you turn the wheel one rev and the yoke turns 3 1/2 times, you have 3.50 gears. If it turns 2 1/2 times you have 2.47 gears and so on.
Someone else will come in with all available OEM axle ratios but it could be anywhere from 2.xx to 4.xx
