Dana 60? Ferd 9in? 8 3/4 and 8 1/4 have round non bolted on covers.
 
looks like and 8 1/4 due too the chunk of metal hanging below the diff cover but might be a 7 1/4
 
that chart for an 8 1/4 looks like an dana 35 not a 8 1/4 a 8 1/4 will have a u shape peace of metal on the bottom side hanging below the diff cover
 
The 8.25 cover is oval

Jack the body of the car up so the rear end will hang down for a better pic....even if it is a 7 1/4 if it is working don't go rushing it off to the scrap yard...sheesh wasteful people, i still have one in my waggin with 318 four speed and beat the snot out of it and it still going strong :burnout: and besides from the pics you show looks like 7 1/4 , the screw in plug kinda say's 7 1/4 8 1/4 usually have a rubber push in plug .....but yer pics suck!....Just sayin
 
Real EASY to put it to rest. If it is an 8.250, it'll have 3" axle tubes like an 8.750. If it's a 7.250, it'll have 2.5" axle tubes. duhhhhhhhh

Some newer 7.25's like what came in the 5th Ave have 8.25 tubes and ends on them. But that one looks like an original 7.25.
