You can't go by what pulls up on the vin on a vehicle this old.... My old Ex showed non LS, even on the axle tag, but pop the diff cover n low and behold, someone put a LS in it.
I've changed something in the axles on dam near every vehicle I've owned... There's just no way of knowing unless you peak inside.

Well, someone could have done like I just did today, nabbed a LS out of one of their trucks for another one... Just sayin, but the jack method works very nice. I usually like to just jack one tire off the ground, put the trans in "N" and try to spin the tire by hand. If it spins with little effort, it's a open diff. If it has some good resistance it's a LS.

When they put a vin in a post here, it comes up so you can click on the vin and it decides it, so you can see all the factory specs.
