No. Think about it, how could it. There is nothing unique about any point on the carrier/axles/wheesls/etc. nor the tone ring itself. It's not like a crank what where the component has some feature that needs to be in a specific position relative to some mark on the ring that the computer could identify.

It looks like the early 1987 8.8 tone ring did have a tab
None I ever worked on did
Not sure when they made the switch
I only see one online with a tab and a bunch without
Fun stuff, live and learn in this business
