Lotus Alloy Diff casing

Is there any way to tell FROM THE OUTSIDE if the alloy diff casing is the stiffer later version, as fitted to Sprints and 130's ?
Also, if the diff output shafts have the fail-safe pin, does this automatically mean they too are the later strengthened versions ?

Stuart.

Stuart,
It's safe to say that a diff output shaft and rear wheel spindle with the fail-safe pin is made from the higher tensile strength steel compared to the original parts.
However, if you've uprated your engine to say 150/160 bhp range, then it would obviously be much safer to fit the billet shafts and spindles from the usual sources at a their eye watering costs.
