Posi rear identification, look at the filler plug...
I had one of my 72 half tons on the lift trying to find out why it had so much road noise, found it had a loose pinion so figured I would pull he rear end to rebuild it.
So I put my other 72 on the lift to borrow the rear from it when I notice it has a different style filler plug, like the one to the left in this picture |

It didn't have a tag on it though but I immediately recognized he plug as one to attach a posi tag...took the cover off and it does have posi.
The non posi rears have a plug that fits flush to the housing. |

That's not always the case, I've seen both style plugs. The best way is to pull the cover.
