On the early C5s 97-98 look at the passenger side storage compartment lid, if you see G92 you have 3.15s if you don't see it you have 2.73s. On the later models you will find the build codes on the door of the glove box G92=3.15, if you don't see it you have 2.73s.

You can also tell by checking the rear end itself. On the passenger side (I think), the rear end will have a roughly 1" x 2" metal tag on it that says Getrag and then the rear end ratio.
