If I remember right - the DANA's all have the number (60, 70, 44, etc..) stamped on top of the housing near the center hump.
The shape of the cover will also tell you what the others are. Usually the number of cover bolts is the reference.

It's almost certainly the ford 9". I don't think the 8.8" came out until later. If it doesn't have an inspection cover on the back held on by bolts, it's definately a 9".
