Default Indentifying LSD.. mk3 vs mk4

I have a chance to grab an lsd diff for a great price.. I can't find out how to tell if it's mk3 or mk4 supra and the owner isn't sure here are some pictures if that helps.. I've been talking with the guy and can answer any questions I need to ask.. he has the complete axle assembly I asked for more pictures..
Thanks for any input guys

I've got a complete MKIII subframe sitting outside of where I work, I'll check that and see if it looks the same as yours.

MKIV differentials (lsd or non-lsd) have 3 bolt flanges that connects to the driveshaft . By the way it looks it is not a MKIV diff.
