Ring Gear size?

Trying to order an overhaul kit for my '01 WS6 and the guy wants to know what size the ring gear is. He is saying 7.5" or 7.625"? The only differences I knew of is Series 2 or 3? Please help!!!

7.5 is the same as 7.625.
a 7.625 rearend has a 7.625 OD ring gear mounted on a 7.5 carrier.
a 7.5 rearend has a 7.5 OD ring gear mounted on a 7.5 carrier.
rearend parts are the same: bearings,seals,shims,etc.
