It's likely that it's the aluminum Dana 44. Not the same as a cast iron version. Many things are different about it including the gears. I think only 3.55 and 3.73 gears are available. HERE
Is a little more about your axle. The diff cover may vary from the image though.

Pretty sure it's the aluminum Dana 44. The cover looks different than a standard Dana 44 and it is a little bigger. Call around. Looks like THIS.

And THIS.
