Default 12 Bolt Carrier Help

I bought a Moser 12 bolt with 3.90 gears and 33 spline axles. I want to spool it but I can't determine which series carrier it is. Everything I found says a 4 is 4.10 gears and higher, 3 is supposed to be 3.73 and lower. Then I find you can buy 3.90 gear set for a 3 or 4. The whole rear is for a 93-97 f-body and was ordered as a package from what I'm told by previous owner. How can I tell for sure which series carrier it is? I emailed Moser but they said it's probably a series 3 but not sure.

If I could guess its a 3 series and they are pretty common but the gear model number will tell for sure.

Looks like it's a 3.

That number is a US Gear 3.91 gearset.
The US gear catalog references a Richmond 49-0040-1 as same
Richmond Gear catalog states that 49-0040-1 as for a 3 series carrier.
