Does it have a removeable rear cover? if not its a 9". I believe they used the 9" until 83, but you have a Canadian built truck and things can be different with them. Its either a 9" or an 8.8" both are excellent axles.

I've seen 9's in some 84's, plus they're an easy and popular swap.
8.8 has a tin inspection cover on the rear with 10 (?) bolts. The 9" has the differential carrier that bolts in from the front. The rear cover is relatively smooth.
Here's a 9" https://www.ford-trucks.com/article/...ear_Setup.html

Not sure what code 16 is. It would be a non-limited slip, but I don't know the ratio. Maybe someone else knows.
Edit - Found a list. Looks like a 3.73 ratio. http://www.drivetrain.com/Fordtrkratio_posidata.html
