Default What type of center section is this?

I've searched google, ebay, here, ford sites. . .

I know it's a 9" center section / 3rd member, but is it spool, posi, limited slip, open?

It's got gears inside those little holes in the center

Gives me the impression if the left axle turns, the right will turn the EXACT same so that would be spool right?

HELP!!!

Looks like an OE 4 pinion Traction Lock... it would help to see the other side of the case.

It looks like a stock center section with either a Trac-loc or an open (one wheel peel) differential. I need a pic of the other side of the differential case to be sure.
