12 Bolt Differential identification

When I spin the drivers side wheel the passenger side goes in the opposite direction. When the passenger side wheel is spun the drivers side does nothing.
Any idea if I have a posi traction( Also know as limited slip), or open, etc??

Sounds like an OPEN rear end. Both wheels turn in the same direction on a posi as far as I know.

I figured out from the glove box build sheet it has 3.73 gears and originally came with a inline 6. Also the truck is a 3 ott.
