yng,

The U. S. spec. cars recieved limited slip differentials with the introduction of 2000cc models in 1972. If the axle you are considering is off of a 1973 U. S. spec. car, it should be a limited slip. Try this; hold one wheel, raise the other and try to turn it. If I remember correctly, the resistance specification for a LSD in good shape should be 21 ft. lb. If less, these units can be shimmed to provide more lock-up.
