shouldnt be anything different except the posi unit being an open carrier (one wheel peel) on the V6 unit. Housing and stuff should be the same. Maybe somebody can chime in on whether stuff like backing plates and such are the same.

Pull the cover to be sure, 3.23 and up would be a G80, correct? Sure it's not a 3.08?

No, they are the same besides the typical gears they got from the factory and the carrier.
