That is a Dana 44 HD. It has the big hubs like mentioned, and another thing is that they have larger axle tubes. Be careful, the cast carrier housing on these can be weak. The housing axle tube bores were machined larger to accept the larger axle tubes and the housings are none to crack or break there.
